Tacoma Front End a Bit higher than Rear KINGS 2.5 Question

Hello, i recently installed a full suspension lift on my 3rd gen Tacoma OR. everything seems to be good but i just found out about the taco lean and how the DRIVER side would be needed to be adjusted a bit higher to fix the issued, however. Looking into the Vehicle it does look IMO higher in the front end than rear. Below i will attach my exact suspension

my OCD keep messing with my head but sometimes it does look level.

Anyway, what can i do to sort of level this out and also take care of the taco lean?

Do you think lowering couple threats on PASSANGER side would be the way to go for the taco lean and possibly level the front with the rear. Or you think it should be an adjustment for both.

i have heard people use very tiny spacers on rear or things like that but i am aware that there is no recommendation to do that.

Tires Toyo AT3 285/75/16 - Currenty having ZERO rubbing on the front and also did CMC which is great.

Everything on this pic BUT Those UCA, i went with Total Chaos Instead.



and this is how my truck current Stance is at.











Should i leave it the way it is? thoughts ? am i being ridiculous?

any info would help

 

Your front end will settle down. What springs do you have?

 

Standard 600 lbs

 

Yeah they will settle soon. I have 650s and they settled after a week or 2. You’ll be good.

 

Get the tape measure out and check it, go from center of hub up to fender front and back, then you will know whats going on.

 

I think the stance looks good. For the lean, you have two options, turn the passenger side down a couple turns (I'd actually do one turn at a time) or get a small spacer (Headstrong has 1/4" spacers) for the driver side.

 

Did you remove the overloads when you installed the 3 leaf aal? I did and only got about an inch of rise. Those 3 leaf aal's usually only advertise 1.5" of rise...not sure if that includes the overload.

 

Coil overs usually come pre-adjusted for the lean. Like dude said above, measure hub center to fender lip at all wheels. Stock off roads are typically 21" front & 22" rear. I think Pros are a little higher.

 

Yes the coils and leafs will both settle a bit as they get broken in. Probably more noticeable on the front, so you should be ok. As far as the 'lean' goes, you have to consider that the truck sits differently every time you load it. Something as small as 2x 5 gallon gas cans will be a measurable difference in height. With that being said you can set the coil nut on the Kings to your liking. Probably only need an extra 1 or 2 turns on the drivers side

 

Was it similar to you? i mean its very little the difference from the front end and the rear but my OCD kicking hard lol! i guess i will give a try and wait.

I would love to just lower the RT Rear a bit just not sure if its worth the hassle of taking them off, adjust, re-install.

Im not tooo crazy for the lean since they are like that as factory lol! but yes Hopefully the front end does settle a bit. because im not sure if i want to pay to go through the hassle of removing them, readjust etc

 

I would not mess with leaf springs, keep them the same or you will end up with some weird lean later on. To adjust the coilers, you can leave them on. Just jack up the truck to remove all the weight from the front, loosen the Allen set screw on the clamp, spray some lube on the shock body (I just used wd-40 on my kings) and then adjust. Just make Sure when you turn, the body isn't also turning. It takes ~15-20 mins to do both sides, it's very easy. For a few bucks, a t-handle adjuster wrench like this makes it really easy to be able to get a full turn without any issue.

 

I think I'm going to go this route, you spray on the actual threats ( bottom area ) to make it easier to turn? also, will that key you have will it help to adjust ether direction?

 

Spray top and bottom. Once the set screw is loosened a bit, spraying on the top and giving it a minute will let the lube soak down in to the threads so you don't have to start turning without any lube.

 

Youll want this T-handle wrench. The angle on the tip helps a lot in the tight space

A word of caution - DO NOT loosen the pinch bolt more than one turn. If it gets too loose, the coil nut could actually jump all the threads and slam up to the top. Remember that the entire force of the compressed spring (and the front weight of the truck) lands on that coil nut.

 

I would leave it like that.

 

Harbor Freight pin punches work well for adjusting and they're like $6. I used the 5/16" I believe

 

So i came across that my main issue is the Add a Leaf which means that they aren't sitting in a true 2.75 inch like the front supposed to be...
im not sure if there is a leaf spring package that i can just swap to achieve that height or if it is just better lowering the front to level the truck and leave as is... since i keep realizing that the KINGS 2.5 are not mean to be a typical 3'' like rough country since they actually use blocks to lift the rear and will be messing with performance. I do care about performance hence why i went with the kings full kit so im just looking out and see other people that had done anything in particular.....

 

Kings are more like 1.75”-2”. If you have them cranked up to give you 3”, then you’re way out of their ideal range which significantly impacts the ride quality. Or you e got a stiff ass spring on.
