    I have a 3" procomp lift, I had the rear aal for a while and it sagged about an 1" on the drivers side. Thought it was maybe just old leafs so I upgraded to the allpro 3" standard leaf springs and have the same problem but not it shows even more. About a 2" sag on the drivers side..... Any suggestions?! Thanks everyone

    Rear sag? Front sag is common and known around here as "taco lean" but if it is rear I wonder if maybe your shackles are damaged....

    Thought maybe because the gas tanks on the drier side but even with an empty tank it still sits crooked :/

    Kit came with a coil spacer to correct the "taco lean" haha, but no physical damage to the shackles, I'm baffled

    get under there with a tape and measure everything, and
    figure out 'what specific part and gap', doesn't match the opposite side
    it will be very obvious, you just need to get yer eyeballs in there

    Some of this Some of that
    Pics of the truck? Do you have a body lift? Usually the spacer up front fixes it. Are you from Rockport mass?

    Mine does something similar. I am on TSB leafs with an AAl. I have about a .5" Taco lean to the driver's side up front and about a 1.25" Taco lean on the drivers's side in the rear... It's been that way since I bought it... It already had the rear lift installed when I bought it.

    2" is pretty extreme, I doubt yours is over .75" if your springs are new.

    Measure from center of wheel straight up to the fender. This will take the tires and uneven ground out of the equation.

    .5" inch is common even with a lean spacer if the tank is full.

    Kinda odd toyota put the tank and battery on the drivers side. Then of course there is always a driver.
