    14 Tacoma DC Off Road
    Details:
    -2014 Tacoma, ADS 2.5 with 700# coils up front (non-resi), ADS 2.5 rear (piggy back) w/Dakars
    -Total Chaos UCA's
    -Pelfrey aluminum front bumper, steel skid (no winch yet but will install soon)

    Question: I am having to add significantly more preload to drivers side than passenger side on the front coil-overs; by 3-4 complete revolutions of the adjustment collar in order to level the front of the truck. Is this normal? (its a good 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch more on drivers side)

    (measuring height from both ground and center of wheel on a level surface)

    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds normal, at least it is for my 1st gen. I have 3 or 4 extra threads showing on the driver's side coilover to counter the taco lean.

    Taco lean. Google it. Everyone has it. Due to gas and battery all on the drivers side.
