Mine next?

 

So my icon 700 lb springs came in, how much thread do you 700 lb spring guys run? right now with my i got 1.75 drivers side, 1.5 passenger side with the 650 lb springs and I still got toyota lean. How much you think I should put them at? I got steel bumper, steel ifs and steel midskid. Adding winch later on.

 

Make sure your "taco lean" isn't your fender support bushing being bad on the driver's side. If the bushing is bad it compresses way more than the passenger side and makes it look like your truck is leaning when it's just your cab that's leaning. I changed mine and it brought my truck back to normal.

 

what's it look like? are they the body mounts by the radiator?

 

These are Energy Suspension bushings:



The new bushings brought my driver's side fender up close to 3/8". I bet a lot of people that think they have taco lean actually just have to replace their bushings. Because the stock bushing is smashed down, it throws your hub to fender measurement off. The driver's side bushing compresses because of the extra weight on that side.

 

Wats up guys get one questions about tpms. My friend he swapped his stocks with sr5 4Runner rims and da light stay on. Is the runner rims not interchangeable with our tacos ?

 

sensors are in the valves i think. you gotta takem out

 

You have to replace the sensors... The sr5 sensors were calibrated to the tpms ecu... If you swap wheels you have to either pull the old sensors from the wheels and swap them into the new wheels.. If the old wheels were stamped steel and the new wheels are alloy, then you'll need either new sensors or a sensor bomb to defeat the light... If they are both alloy then sensor swap should work great... If the new wheels have sensors in them already, then you'll need to have them calibrated into the tpms ecu.. The way you can tell is by looking at the valve stem... If its metal with a nut holding it to the wheel, its a tpms sensor... If its the rubber type we've all seen in the past, then its non tpms

 

@jimbo808 You can measure from your frame to fender support and compare the drivers and passenger's side. You'll still have to compensate by cranking the driver's side coilover some, but maybe not as much. I haven't been using hub to fender measurements to level my truck, I've been measuring from each side frame to ground.

 

yup just measured, drivers side 1/16ths shorter

 

That really isn't bad. And your 650's cranked down that much isn't that bad either, it's just that those 650's are 13" springs, an inch shorter than other coilover brands so they look like they are preloaded more than other coilovers that come with 14" springs.

 

You heading back work killa? Think I just saw u @hacklerjason

 

Where at? I just got home from kapolei

 

Passed u right before the high school u was coming from like chilis side
