    I was a bit fustrated bc i was looking at truck('17 sport with 6k's) and i noticed i was leaning to the left...yes i checked on level ground and yes it right straight. Then i came right away and hit the "search" botton and come to find out about "the taco lean"..WTF!!! Really....

    I was just wondering if any other 3rd gen are also on the same boat that i am..

    Most are 3rd gen and 2nd gen. Some are worse than other. Mine was only about a 1/8 inch before lift. My buddy's is at 1/4 inch.

    Uses search button to search for searches. Then searches searches for what he searched. Then asks about the searches he searched to see if searches searched were correctly searched? Sounds about right at least you tried... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Taco Lean? no, I like carnitas tacos and they are fatter than lard, in fact, they are cooked in it! yum!

    I wouldn't worry about it, but if you don't like it, you could get a golden retriever or a heavy partner to sit next to you up front. Or get a Titan or similar auxiliary fuel tank and mount it on the right side of the bed. Taco Lean gone.

    Add a trim packer to left side. Most do it when they install lift. Just a small spacer ring

    Mine doesn't exhibit any lean until over 1/2 tank of fuel, up to full tank of gas = 1/8" lean that's still hard to notice. I keep a bin of mounts, recovery gear, etc., in the bed of my truck at all times and just put it on the passenger side. even out the weight and you're fine. I will say, this could just be anecdotal and nothing else but folks I know who have Sports to exhibit a bit more lean than I see on the ORs so I'm not sure if the different suspension helps? Regardless if you end up lifting or swapping suspension or anything, fixing the lean is pretty easy to do...
