Driver side Tacoma lean

Does the driver side lean only occur when you swap out the factory springs or when you modify any suspension in general?

thank you!

 

Happens stock for most I thought. Gas tank battery and driver are all on the same side.

 

It was like it stock on Mike. Added a 1/4 spacer for the famous taco lean. Just measure after you fill up.

 

My truck i can’t tell from the naked eye. I could tell from this one owner who installed a spacer/block lift and it was definitely noticeable.

 

I don’t notice on mine visually.

 

I think it occurs when the driver needs to go on a diet XD

 

Typically most noticed when you are carrying a full 21 gallons in the tank.

 

1.5 inch higher on passenger side on my taco.

 

I couldn’t tell from the naked eye on mine either, but I am a freak with ADD when it comes to my truck like most people so I measure before, I measure after, and I measure again once the suspension settles and indeed the 1/4” spacer worked. Dead on all 4 corners

 

So why worry...

 

Going off topic a little, many years ago l worked with a guy that weighed well over 400 pounds and drove a Plymouth Horizon, talk about lean!

 

I gave a ride to a guy who was pushing 400lbs.

A few days later another friend complained the seat was all soft and very much off.

I took it in to the dealer for service, mentioned it without having tested it out myself.

To my surprise, dealer ended up repairing and said "must have been an error in assembling of the seat because none of the springs were installed and it would take hundreds of pounds to pop them loose.

I realized what had happened never connecting the two until that moment.

 

Damn that's messed up! My GF at that time actually bought that Horizon off him against my wishes, I remember having to change the motor mounts and repair the core support to get it going but never messed with the broken seat or sagged suspension.

 

I don't notice it, but I keep all the truck stuff on the passenger side to balance things out.

Between full tank and myself ~400 pounds on driver side

 

Because i can just like how you can comment on my thread

 

I will say this... any "lean" on any vehicle can happen to a stock vehicle or to a modded one. It can have a lean stock and be fixed when modded. It can not have a lean stock and have a lean modded. Or, it is fine all the way through.
