    Mine had a really bad lean to the left. I assumed it was just taco lean until it started hitting the bump stops when going slow over speed bumps. It ended up being a blown shock on the left rear. The shock was replaced under warranty and now it's back to normal taco lean.

    You guys may want the lift the rear, loosen the leaf spring front mount and rear shackle, then lower the truck, bounce on the bed a couple times to put some load on the springs and then retighten the front and rear.

    I replaced the leaf springs on my last truck and had to follow this procedure as tightening the front and shackle mounts with the leaf springs unladen may cause the spring tension to be off.

    It may be normal but I don't have to like it. :) I have my first service on Friday and I am going to bring this up.

    Taco lean affects the front and rear. My rear SUA kit has two different leaf springs for the kit to account for the taco lean. In time you wont even notice it.

    Do you need to know, or care?
    and you'll get the same response for everything else, "normal".

    Shim it up and make it sit level it's not rocket science. It's a heartless piece of rubber and steel that will behave exactly the way you want it to.
