    Something went wrong......

    I replaced everything on the front, but now the truck is leaning to one side :frusty:

    The struts are universal aren't they?

    Welcome to my world. Truck leans about an inch to the driver side. Wheelers OR has a leaf spring spacer to compensate for lean, and other spacers to compensate as well. Something I'll be doing here soon.

    It seems like the struts a side based. It took both off again and they had different color codes on the coils.

    They were both labled left, so it took my chances putting them in.

    It rides smoother now, but is still leaning half an inch to the driver side.......:annoyed:


    @ChadsPride
    Yes Sir, upper controll arms, lower ball joints, new struts, new inner and outer tie rods

    I'm debating what color my spindles will be, have to coat them for rust prevention anyways so might as well do something fun.

    I'm thinking all cherry red, and painting the calipers to match.

    Does anyone here have a 2WD TRD Off Road with an aggressive tire (preferably a first gen) that would be willing to spend a day at Hidden Falls helping me do some research and film a video?

    I ran Rausch Creek Off Road Park in just 2wd, don't see why you couldn't use a 4wd drive vehicle, and just not engage the 4wd.
