    I’m newb and still learning all this. I’m trying to set up my Taco for OR and overlanding. I have 2017 OR six speed.

    I’m ordered OME 887 Springs in the front with Bilsteins 5100 and Dakar leafs (2) in the rear with Fox shocks.

    From what’s I’m seeing from other threads I’ll will have been bit a lean on the driver side and will need a spacer 1/4.

    What spacer can I use? Who makes one that will work on this set up? Thanks in advance!

    Bolt it in on top of the shock assembly. Not inside with the spring.

    I went with the 1/2" spacer plate, rear drivers side, to replace the approx. 1/8" factory plate. I wound up having my favorite shop install it, imho it's difficult to do in a driveway, unless you've got some serious jacks or maybe a pit built into your driveway. The way its bolted together makes it difficult to do w/o a shop lift, but I'm sure there's some guys on here who're much better mechanics than me who have done it themselves.

    Wait.... I thought the lean was compensated by adding the spacer to the front....


    Is it actually added to the rear?

    Also, this added spacer shouldn't be enough to affect ride or pull or suspension life would it?

    Doesn't affect anything other than make the truck sit level side to side.
