Am I crazy or does the taco lean with stock springs?

    I know about the dreaded taco lean but I've been reading up about suspension replacement to prep for installing 5100's this weekend. What I read was that if you go aftermarket springs, you need a lean spacer to correct the lean since the stock springs compensate. My truck is a 2010 4x4 AC with stock suspension and I notice the taco lean. Granted I've never measured it out but its enough that an ocd eyeball can easily catch it. Is my lean worse since I am on the "COMPENSATED" stock suspension and still leaning or am I missing something? Discuss.

    They have it, even when stock. It's hard to completely get rid of it, the point seems to be to just try and minimize it. The stock springs to that themselves, when you go aftermarket you need a spacer to minimize it.
