    The truck is a 2007 4dr 4wd, I have an ARE shell and a loaded Tool box in the bed.

    When stock if there was a lean it was very slight if at all.

    Had TSB done, 4 leaf pack, with TRD shocks. No lean.

    Installed OME 3" lift front coils with TRD shocks, 1.5" rear lift blocks TRD shocks. After allowing to settle there was a noticeable lean. This lean seemed to constantly increase! Stopped measuring at 1.5", that was the max lean in the worst wheel well.

    Installed TC upper control arms to improve alignment.

    Recently just installed Icon 2.0 standard rear shocks with the Wheeler's HD 3 leaf Add a leaf pack, retained the overload spring. After allowing to settle for a few weeks this is how I sit

    Drivers Front 37-3/8" Pass. Front 38-1/16"
    Drivers Rear 39" Pass. Rear 39-15/16"

    Difference of .687 or 11/16" lower on Drivers side front
    Difference of .937 or 15/16" lower on Drivers side rear


    Obviously there has been some improvements with the new leaves and shocks.

    I'm intending to order and install Icon Coil overs.

    I'm wondering if it is a wise/bad idea to adjust the drivers side to rid myself of this lean.

    I suppose I would have been better off just replacing the rear springs all together.

    Thoughts on this?

    The Icon front coil overs can be adjusted to correct the front. I would get a new leaf pack in the rear.

    Also you should be measuring from the center of the hub to the fender.

    Son of a shit. That's not what I really wanted to hear since I just purchased and installed that other leaf pack. But it's kind of what I thought was the correct way to go. But on the upside I can take care of it with the coil over. To make an adjustment, I've never done this before, can I do it with the suspension assembled and the truck on the ground?

    Then just fix the front with the icons. It should help the back alittle unless your a perfectionist. If so your probably going to need a leaf pack.

    la0d0g,Oh yeah the blocks are gone.

    I used to be a perfectionist but then I developed some trail damage and pin striping and well now I can live with a few imperfections.
