    2012 TRD Sport, Toytec leveling kit installed by dealer when truck had <10 miles on it. I just put on 4Runner wheels and noticed the passenger side sticks out more than the drivers side. From the frame to the outside of the tire using a 36” straight edge held up to the tire the drivers side measures 16 1/4”, the passenger side measures 17”. Im worried something is not lined up right in the back end, didn’t notice it with the stock 17” TRD Sport wheels. Can someone measure theirs and tell me the measurements? Any suggestions on what to check? I looked at the leaf springs and all bolts and nuts on the springs and shackles and nothing is loose. Could the bushings in the leaf springs be going bad? Truck has 32,000 miles on it. Thanks!

    Bed is probably not aligned. You can loosen the torx head bolts and straighten it out.

    I'd loosen the leaf spring U bolts and recenter the axle or have the dealer who installed the lift do it for ya

    A very common occurrence on tacomas. Mine is worse that yours. Don't let it bother you too bad.

    Just drove it and measured again, same thing. From the outside of the leaf springs to the outside of the brake drums is almost 11” on both sides.
