    Help, my Tacoma is leaning major to the left in person, I just filled a full tank of gas and have a 3 inch front fox setup and oem plus add a leaf in the rear but the leafs shouldn’t be this week if it just a full tank of gas right? Does anyone have a solution and the front leans too

    Did you install driver lean spacer? I do have a little lean for gas tank when empty to full close to 1/4”. I would say 1/2” is a little much. Hopefully someone will chime in

    I hope it’s just a full tank problem, looks like I’m gonna drive it till empty to find the truth

    The fuel tank, battery, and driver all are on the left side so that accounts for the lean.

    20 gallons of fuel and probably about 50 pounds for a battery.

    I have a full tank of gas and only noticed the lean when I put on rear Bilstein 5100s today. The drivers side rear shock is about 3/4” shorter than the passenger’s side (measuring from the top shock mount to the bottom mount). Seems excessive, but the truck is a 2021 so I’m assuming it was made this way?? What’s odd is I can’t measure that much of a lean when I measure from the ground to the fender. But I could be on un level ground. I’ll do more measuring and give an update.

    My 2020 OR with oem suspension has about 1/4 inch lean to the driver's side with a full tank in warmer weather. Gets noticeably worse in really cold weather, like 1/2 inch or more. Spacer on the front drivers side shock mount is the answer, or an aftermarket suspension setup with coils or adjustable perches.

    Update - I measured from frame to top of leaf springs (next to U bolts) on each side. The drivers side spring is about 1/2” closer to the frame. That’s about the difference in the shocks with a 1/2 tank of fuel. Any ideas?

    Normal on Tacoma, like others said. Drivers side lean (fuel, battery) more weight on drivers side = more sag.
