    Hi everyone,

    Today I was looking at my truck from the rear and noticed my driver side leaning lower than the passenger side. I took some measurements from all the tires to the wheel wells. The fronts were the same and the rears were 1” difference. Driver side 7.5” and pass 8.5”. I dug deeper and measured from the leaf to the frame, same issues. Checked tire pressures ( the same ) and made sure I was on a flat surface. The truck is 2014. I also checked if the bed bolts were tight and if it was straight. I also check the angle of the shackles (the same). Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    Google Taco Lean. Very common, and relatively easy to fix.

    Battery and gas tank are on the driver’s side causing the infamous “Taco Lean.” People put about a 1/4” spacer on the driver’s side front coilover to help alleviate it, some severe ones add a small block or shim to the driver’s side leaf pack.
