    IF you remove stock front suspension and replace with aftermarket suspension that is perfectly equal side to side, All tacos will lean in this situation.

    I added 6112s set at 6th notch both sides with a Headstrong 1/4 spacer on the driver side. 5100s in the rear with a 1 inch block. Dead Level. 38 inches ground to fender . Ride is great on and off road. Glad I went this route instead of 5100s in the front. 00000IMG_00000_BURST20190512134717921_COVER.jpg

    Stock tacos are even because they have a taller coil on the driver side. Fact.

    Side note, In my opinion, having a full tank of gas vs an empty tank will cause lean variances.

    I'm sure it "runs great" but did the manufacturer recommend that? It's like saying I added 200 octane race fuel with lead plus E85 and my taco is a rocket now. Did toyota recommend that? No. Did your truck get faster? Yeah...

    Nice man. You throw insults out because you lost the argument. Way to go.

    You started getting aggressive here. Cursing and such. It's clear you are mad that myself everyone else does not agree with you. Just a couple of guys agree with you, the ones who also installed this kit wrong.

    Since you want to keep arguing after saying good night, I made myself clear with this statement:

    IF you remove stock front suspension and replace with aftermarket suspension that is perfectly equal side to side, All tacos will lean in this situation.

    Oh believe me buddy, me cursing isn’t getting mad. And again... there you go contradicting yourself, “you are mad that myself everyone else does not agree with you. Just a couple of guys agree with you”. Pick one man. :burp:

    Ok man let's get back on topic here. So do you think the 1/4 inch top plate spacer is a better fix than what Bilstein recommends?

    Running the 5/6 setting just nets you a little less lift. Running it at 6 and using the spacer levels your truck and gives you the full lift

    As a matter of fact it's an option on the Headstrong Site To use the 6th clip with the spacer .

    I'm gonna do the UCAs in the next few months. A little extra wheel tire clearance is a good thing. Those look Stellar.
