    Front coilovers cause taco lean and you have adjustable coilovers. Sounds like you have a bad leaf pack if you have that much lean in the back.

    Drive it around a while let everything settle. Did you leave everything loose and torque after jouncing the suspension once you lowered the vehicle onto the ground? If not loosen everything jounce the suspension and torque down. After everything has settled in a bit you can adjust your coilovers to help with taco lean. If there is significant difference in the preload from left to right on the COs do what @McRib suggested and get a 1/4" spacer for the LF so that way you don't have one CO with a lot more preload than the other. Lastly look at the leafs do you have OE or what?

    All due respect to everyone, I wasn’t looking for advice. I just want to know if someone had a block is their spare parts bin.

    I’ve got preload in the front adjusted the way I want to compensate for taco lean. Plus don’t want to go too different on preload one side to the other as your really changing the (effective) spring rate. In any case, front is good.

    Rear is, and always has been, about an inch lower on drivers. Gas tank or slight difference in the Dakar’s ( I think I had a neutral and a + and obv put the + on driver) but since I have room on my U-Bolts I figured I’d throw a 1/2” spacer in there.

    I’ve got some 1.5” but that’d probably be a bit much.

    do you have a hilift or anything with substantial weight you could hang off the passenger side rails in the bed? If not I’ve got one I can sell you :anonymous:

    Contrary to popular belief, adjusting the front won’t do much when the gas tank is positioned towards the rear, and is the main culprit of the lean.

    I'm pretty sure in lugoff you get a free set of lift blocks with a fuel up of $50 or more.

    I can show you on corner scales it loads the RR more which is why it helps.

    As I said, the + is already on the driver side.

    If y’all want to give advice so bad, do you think I can spread 1000+ pounds evenly on this without it bowing? It’ll be supported only at the ends of the 2x8. Carpeted board is 2x10 and I’m using 6” Timberlocks.

    Actually making three of them, each of which needs to support 1000#. Oh and that’s a 10’ spread.

    It'll be fine till the wood rots roll with it. One under ea. toon, or are they going to run perpendicular to the toons?
