    I did a quick search and didn't see an answer to my specific question. Why do some guys run different size spacers on the coils in the front? For instance, I read that one guy had a 1/4" spacer on the pass side and a 3/4" on the driver side. This is a little confusing to me. Is there THAT much of a weight difference from one side to the other? Thanks in advance, guys!

    The larger spacer is to correct the lean on the drivers side. Plus he wanted to level the truck off with the rear.

    Why does it lean on that side? Do all Tacomas do that?

    Battery+driver+gas tank on driver side= "the lean"

    mine leans about .5". Some have it bad.

    Engineering issue, I assume.
