    Just got my lift on Monday. I just noticed today that it looks like my drivers side front sits lower than the passenger side front. I have been reading about the "lean" issue with tacomas. I am running the 3" OME with the Nitro shocks, OME881 coils, and the add a leaf and extended shocks in the back. I thought i read somewhere that the lift i have would take care of that issue. Can someone please provide insight for me on the issue. I know 3/8's of an inch isn't that much of a difference but it is noticeable to me. Thanks guys.

    i think the lift came with a 1\4 inch top plate spacer for the full 3 inch lift. Will another 1/4 inch top plate spacer work on top of that.

    Not 100% sure on the lift you got, I have the OME 885 and I ordered a Trim packer to take care of the lean issue, it goes on the bottom of the shock when you build up the coils.

    Hope this helps

    NO!
    At this point, you would want to use only the OME 5mm trim packers to address your taco lean.
