    Last year I replaced my 05 Tacos leaf springs and rear shocks with 5100 Bilsteins. Over the past couple months I’ve really noticed they’ve sagged especially on the driver side. I know the tacos are famous for their “leans” but does anyone have any solutions that have worked for Them in the past? I’ve seen a few different threads but they start to dive into a he said she said. Let’s stay on point and keep it simple! Thanks in advance

    they have a plus and a minus for pass/driver side.

    something that gets over looked sometimes.

    Oh that's why then. The TSB leafs are known to be problematic even when new. Your best bet is to throw an AAL on it, either single or 3 leaf, though 3 leaf is better as it retains the "progressive" sort of nature that the OE pack and many other packs have. That should eliminate that lean. The way to tell if your leaf pack is good is by looking at it while the truck is parked and seeing if it has a sort of arc shape to it. If it does not and looks sort of flat then you have a bad pack.

    I'm reading your post to mean + on pass an - on drivers. Isn't it the other way around?

    Something like Deaver is worth it to add.
