    3” Readylift
    Hey guys, new to this forum. I have a 2019 TRD OR and just installed a 3” ready lift spacer lift. I am still using stock struts and shocks. After installing the lift and on stock tires I measured 38.5” to both front fenders and the left rear. The right rear is 3/4” higher at 39.25”. Should they not all be the same since this is a 3/2 leveling/lift kit? I’ve heard of the “taco lean” but the front is the same and left side is same as front. Not sure why right rear is higher. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

    Full gas tank? That's 120 lbs. mostly on the left rear wheel.

    Taco lean on Drivers Front will lift the left rear. I put in 1/2" top plate spacer on front drivers side and 1/4" on front the passenger from Head Strong. That leveled it all out for my nicely.

    Also, measure hub to fender not from the ground. Tire pressure or tread wear can throw it off

    Will do that 4x4yotaphan but why would 3 out of 4 corners be the same and right rear be higher?

    Usually due to the weight of the gas tank, battery and driver. This is very common when people swap out their stock springs. I believe the oem driver spring either is longer or stiffer to compensate for the weight on that side.

    He has a block, not new leafs. OEM trucks lean as well, though sometimes more noticeable after a lift because nobody measures a stock truck.

    More than likely what you and everyone is expecting from the taco lean but you might get a more accurate measurement from doing this.

    My taco lean is super obvious on flat ground even with an almost empty gas tank and a noticable 1-2 inch drop on the driver side rear but I just stopped looking from the back. Out of sight, out of mind.

    The right rear was probably higher before the lift. Rear leaf spring sag over time is more on the left side due to more weight. I think there might be a TSB regarding the sagging rear leafs.

    You can probably level the truck by replacing the existing block with a 0.5" or 0.75" smaller size in that high corner.
