Driver’s side rear higher?

Hey guys, I have a 2021 TRD Pro that has a 1.5” progressive AAL in the back. I noticed the other day that the drivers side rear is ~3/4” higher in the rear.

1. Should this be concerning? I looked under the truck, everything looks normal on both sides.

2. Is there anything wrong with a 1/2” shim on the right side to even it out?

thanks!

 

Full tank of gas?

How long ago did you install the AAL?

 

This is what's known as the "Taco Lean", learn to embrace it and love it.

 

Isn’t it usually on the drivers side though? The drivers side is higher

 

I’m at 1/2 tank of gas rn. But it’s the drivers side that is higher. About 6 months ago

 

Oh shit, my mistake! Ignore me.

 

That's the opposite of taco lean. Kind of unusual.




Before shimming I'd try swapping the AAL from left to right, see if the lean follows the leafs.

 

Is the frame higher or the bed? Are you sure the spring pack pin is properly seated in the perch on the drivers side?

 

Drivers side:

 

Drivers side

 

Bed looks flush. What about the leaf to perch on each side?

 

Where’s that at, right above the leafs?

 

Yeah where the leaf pack meets the axle. Can take a picture from the back of the truck on each side.

 

Man I would hope so. Can't imagine riding around for 6 months with an unseated center pin.

 

Yeah it rides great, just seemed odd when I noticed it. I looked around on here and some others have had it too on even just stock trucks

 

Oh I agree!!! But never know!

 

How did you measure it?

 

With my eyes. Jk, but it is noticeable when I look at the rear drivers side and then go the passenger side. I measured from the top of the tire tread in the wheel well to plastic, right in the middle of the tire

 

If you from the center of the hub to the fender flare, you can compare it to other’s reported measurements. Typically the the rear left is 21.5-22” and the rear right is 22-22.5” for a 4x4 DCSB.

 

I'll ask a real dumb question. Is it always noticable? Have you tried driving it enough to cycle the suspension, finding a level spot at a different lot, and remeasuring?

Just taking the long shot before I say "get the stands out and drop the axle" because that's everyone's favorite thing to do in the summer.
