    Job is done, question.

    When i was putting these on i didnt think that perhaps they were side specific... Can anyone tell me if i made a mistake by not taking that into account? My drivers side looks a tiny bit lower than the passenger i think.

    the parts i put on are oem 2016 trd shock coil assembly's

    The left and right springs have different part #s so they may be side specific.

    Thanks for the reply. If they do end up being side specific i am guessing its purely cosmetic i would think. Wondering if it is bad to leave it be for a couple weeks as i really dont want to remove the wheels and shocks again after just doing it. Dealing with 3 seized lugs and uca bolts that dont want to come out because of fender wells was annoying, i need a break! heh

    That's called the Taco lean man! It's notorious and extremely common. Nothing to worry about.
