    If its leaning to the drivers side, that is very very common. "Taco lean" we call it. Stock coils are right left specific and most aftermarket coils need to be used with a small spacer or "trim packer" to correct the issue. U notice it in the rear but its from the front sagging. Since u just used aal's it doesn't change anything in the rear. But if you were to get new aftermarket leaf packs they are usually right left specific as well to help deal with the lean. Its caused by the battery, gas tank and usually the driver since most of the time your rig is only occupied by yourself, all the weight is on that side.

    Im really interested in ordering this lift kit, but i'm kind of concerned after reading how some peoples shocks leaked all over the place after 3k miles.

    Has anyone had any leaking issues with the shocks so far? (I know that thread was made years ago) I just want to have some input before i make the purchase.

    Thanks I appreciate it. Maybe it was just bad luck on their part then, since it seemed like it happened to only five people. I guess ill be placing my order.

    The ride is fine. I called ToyTec and they said to keep them on the stock setting since I have 3" from the springs but I wanted the front higher then the back. It doesn't bounce or anything and is smooth going over any obstacle
