They still haven't fixed the "Taco Tilt" ?

    quick mods so far
    So my old 2000 Taco had the dreaded "taco tilt". Now, the new 2013 with only 1800 miles has the same problem.....sits lower on the driver's side than the passenger's side (and no my skinny 180 lb butt doesn't make the difference, the tires are aired up and I know how to use a tape measure).

    Anyone else notice this? I'm seeing about a 1/2 to 3/4" difference on the rear on level ground, 1/2 tank of gas.

    this and that...
    stock i had no taco lean. when i put in the billies with the eibach springs, thats when it started. the trim spacer did absolutely nothing. to add to it, im kinda a big guy so when i get in it...it goes down a little bit more >=). one of the reasons why i decided to upgrade to icon extended travel coilovers, cause the adjustability.

    My truck sits slightly lower on the passenger side. I figure the assembly line must have been moving backwards that day.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    You need more weight on the passenger side.

    If you put that on the passenger side you're gonna need better shocks to control the bounce.

    My 2001 had a bad lean with fabtech 3" coil overs, northwest offroad leafs. It didnt develop till around 70k. My 2011 has 30k and So far hasn't done it. (Fingers crossed!)
