    It is noticeable by naked eye. I just have a mild case of OCD and it bothers me.

    My truck was leaning about a1/4" pre lift,had to measure it,I couldn't see it. Added a 2" Headstrong lift with a 1/4" lean spacer, it's dead on now. Marie at Headstrong was great by the way.

    I've not had a chance to park on a surface level enough to notice, but now I want to go find one to see if my truck is leaning.

    From what I understand Toyota designed a coil specifically for the driver side to regulate this lean. When I put the lift on with the OME coils one was not designed for the driver side to compensate. So what I learned is that a spacer is necessary to "fix" this issue if after market coils have been installed.

    where do these spacers go? Sounds Like I should get one before putting the coils on, so I don't have to take them out to do it later.
    I finally got to actually start today and am half way done putting the AAL's on. don't think I'll have the energy to do the coils tonight, I'll be doing good if I can get the lugnut toyota rounded off, off tonight. I started to do coils 1st. until I came across the lug nut i cant get off ( haven't tried yet ) I wasn't in the mood to start off that way so I decided to do AAL's 1st.
    So far its going good. I think I have an advantage because my frame, LCA's, and leaf springs are only 3 weeks old, everything is unscrewing easily

    The spacers go on top of the coilover. In between the top hat and the mount on the truck

    Bumping a old thread here. I have the same Issue with the OME lift. Disappointed with this lift. Pre lift my truck was fine. Should of saved my money and left it alone.
