    Well, not sure which part fixed it, but finally got it fixed. As I updated elsewhere, I did a complete chiropractic adjustment on my entire suspension yesterday evening and it appears to have solved this too. The truck has been riding rougher and I noticed it was leaning 1/2" on the left front and also on the right rear. So, I dropped the COs in front some which added a little more rake but it rides noticeably better while re-leveling the truck. And, I checked this before and did not notice or catch it but the Deavers were about 1/8th farther forward on one side than the other so I fixed that. Re-torqued everything. Weird thing is I tried dropping the COs once before [post toward the top] and that by itself did NOT solve the problem then.

    Bear in mind, Toytec shipped me 600 lb coils instead of the 550s I ordered but wouldn't pay the two way shipping to fix the error so I just kept the 600s. So, stiffer springs than I really need, higher in the air so even stiffer, trying to adjust out the Tacoma lean problem with the COs which does work but means one CO is higher than the other, combined with those Boss COs had adjusted themselves over time despite having the 2nd plastic lock ring which doesn't lock well, and combined with the rear end being slightly out of alignment. Other than that . . . it was perfect! :thumbsup:
