Cockeyed stance on third gen.

Installed an OME Medium dakar leafs and Front 888 w/nitro and nitro rears a year ago.

With a 1/2 tank of gas and on ~ level ground (ie my garage)

I've measured from center of hub to fender.

This is what I get.

Drivers Side:
Front - 22 3/4" Rear - 23 1/4"

Passenger Side:
Front: 23 1/4" Rear - 24 1/4"

What is going to correct this? I have 2- 1/4" trim packers, unopened, on a shelf.

Replace my front w/ adjustable shocks?

Thoughts?

 

Famous taco lean. Throw one of you 1/4" spacers on the drivers side from strut and call it good.

 

Seems to be a lot for a 1/4" trim packer to correct. But will give it a shot.

 

The fuel tank and battery are on the drivers side so they all have a lean.

 

It will move 2x the shim size.

 

You are only 1/2" off. Lift on these trucks is a 2:1 ratio so 1/4" will give you the 1/2" of lift you need.

 

1/4" spacer above driver spring will probably give you what you're looking for. It's adding 1/4" of static height into the coil bucket, so it will actually net you at least double the height of the spacer.

 

Same set up on mine but I put a 1/4" spacer on the top of my driver side shock assembly. I also was given one Dakar HDs leaf spring with a plus on it, and the other side had an "O" which I'm assuming means perfect to spec for that one and slightly more lift on the plus side pack. I installed the plus side pack on the driver side. My truck sits pretty damn level. I actually might lean to the passenger side now lol.

 

The trim packer isn’t 1/4”.
It provides ~1/4” of lift.

From OME: “95PF5- OME Trim Packers are used to lift the vehicle up by 5mm in the front to compensate for drivers side lean.”

On my truck, I put one trim packer on the driver’s side and it still sits lower. Well actually have 2 on the driver’s side and 1 on the passenger side.
Either put both trim packers in the driver’s side, or put a 1/4” top plate on the driver’s side. Obviously the 1/4” top plate is the easiest route, since you don’t have to disassemble the coilover to install it.

 

Are you sure your truck is actually leaning?

My measurements showed 1” less on drivers side but I ran a level down my truck and it sits perfectly even

 

Trim packer goes on the bottom of the spring. That makes sense. If you put it on top of the spring (like the spacer), you'd get double that amount.
