    I'd bet if you added about 1/2 inch of washers to the carrier bearing it would take care of it, it fixed mine

    My OME spacer kits came in today. I’m gonna add one and test drive it, I bought 2 which equals .6” so if I need another I’ll add it and test drive it again. It’s gonna be a couple days cause my trucks getting sliders welded up now, but I’ll know in a few days if they fix it.

    Passenger side looks ok, right? Driver side though - definitely. Wonder why such a difference - maybe camera angle... ?

    Passenger side is also starting to leak out the end, just not as bad yet as the driver side. The driver side started leaking last year at stock height and I put a new clamp on it. The lift seems to have moved the boots up higher and they’re leaking out of the end

    Don’t feel bad, mine did the exact same thing. I just went and got remanned cvs from Toyota and save the originals for spares. I went 883 on a double cab with no weight yet. They have been on roughly a year now with no weight and the settled just fine. I will go home and report back with a picture of my cv angles as up to date.

    Yeah I got 883s on a 4cyl extended cab and only have an ARB bumper. A winch is planned eventually. I’m probably gonna try the boot slide mod, seems like the lift has pulled up the boots from where they’re supposed to sit and that’s caused leakage from the ends

    ^^ this most likely, no OME lift or any coil lift for that matter should give a 1st gen Tacoma 4" of lift...something wasn't installed correctly.

    I'm 99% sure that wouldn't work without custom fab work, they mount differently

    Can you get a few more pictures, how about putting it back on stands - remove the front wheels and take a couple of the driver and passenger side. Entire assembly.

    Asking a lot but can't really see anything there.

    Do they? I've done a couple 2nd gen lifts and dont remember them being that different.

    It's been a while so I'm probably wrong. Is it 1st gen tundra that mount the same only they are taller?
