    Yes...AND, I can make them to exact specs, so if you have a lean thats over 1/2", I can make one spaecific for your truck. Im gonn a still make a few of these, but as they are selling them for $20.00, I dont think I can start production and make them for that price....:(

    Yes they do. Mine was off about 1/2". When doing the 5100s I had already gotten the TT spacer. It's 1/4 inch thick or so. Both sides are same now.

    Cool that you would consider hooking us up, Chris-you've already helped me out more than you know!

    I am about to put on 5100s and was getting the .25 inch spacer from toytec, put it on the driver side only, hoping the lean was no more than a quarter inch with the factory coils.
    Sure is a lot of variance from truck to truck from all the posters here, so like everyone else, I'll see what I've got once the billys and AAL are installed.

    WOW! Good to know! So if I can come in around $25.00 or so, shipped, maybe I can compete?

    Good luck. I tried to adjust the lean out with the ToyTec adjustable lift and could never get it out. Each time I raised the drivers side to compensate it raised the passenger side also. At one point I had about 3/4" difference between the two which is quite a bit of lift, but still could not level the truck out.:mad:

    Bilstein 5100's (front set @ .85"), OME 885's, chris4x4 anti-Taco-lean spacer on driver's side, Total Chaos UCAs, Rear Leaf Spring TSB, Toytec AALs, Black FJ TT Wheels, BFG 285/75R 16 AT Tires, TRD Exhaust, Viper Alarm, Fog Light Mod, De-badged, Blue LED Dome Light, EZ Clamped Tailgate, Wet Okoles, Satoshi Grill, 5% Tint, Engine Tick Fix, Black Rear Bumper, Black Center Valence, Exhaust Cut At Axle, Thanks for all the help chris4x4!
    So I went over to Chris's to remove my top plate spacers because my UCAs didn't like them too much.
    When I get over there Chris tells me he had the first prototype shim calculated to level out my truck ready to install today!
    He said he factored in the weight of the truck and the initial difference in height between the two sides. He also took into account gravitational pull, humidity and wind sheer.
    Anyway we were shooting for 1/4" or less.
    So we get the top plate spacers off and put the new spacer in, have a vitamin water, and I was headed back home.
    I pull into the garage and whip out the tape measure to see how the front settled.
    BAM! 1/8" high on the DRIVER side without me in the truck! Perfection.
    Now it's getting an alignment. :cool:

    Thanks Chris, you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!:headbang:

    Yeah,it's weird how the 1/4" plate actually raises the truck 1/2".
    Crazy geometry.:)

    I make mine depending on the amount of lift needed. The spacer used on Packerfans truck was machined to 6.009 mm.
