Do we really have lean in the 3rd gen?

    I thought i had drivers side lean. Turns out I only have lean when the parking brake is engaged.

    With the truck in park and the parking brake off I have zero lean and measurements are perfect all around.

    Stock suspension on perfectly level ground.

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    I think the lean only comes into play when you have aftermarket suspension.

    Try it with a full tank lol. Actually I measured my 2017 before I lifted and also had no lean before or after.

    Please be sure to explain how engagement of the parking brake tweaks the suspension when you get it worked out.

    engaging the parking brake binds up the rear brakes. so when you get out of the vehicle and then disengage the parking brake you can see the entire truck settle a little bit.

    so my point is that if you think you have lean to disengage the parking brake while in park and remeasure.

    i have taco lean with parking brake on....no lean at all with it disengaged.

    The brakes completely lock up the wheels. putting it in park does not lock up the wheels as you can kinda rock it forward and backward a tiny but.

    Try it...See what happens!
