    Guys I have a question for you guys that know much more than me. I just installed on my 13 double cab Toytec/eihbach coilovers with bilstien 5100's and Tatal Chaos ucs'a...now i have the "taco lean", divers side is a half inch lower. I just ordered the 1/4 spacer from toytec to correct this. I will say I did not check prior to the install if I had the lean.
    My question is, Can I install this spacer along with these coilovers? They come preset at 3" from Toytec, which is exactly where I want them. I searched and did not find anything with the spacer and these specific coilovers.

    Thanks, Juan

    If they are adjustable coilovers, you could just crank that side up a bit. But the 1/4" spacer should work just fine as well, and will allow you to avoid adding any more preload to the suspension.

    Thanks YotaDan, sorry for all the bad grammer too. I really did not want to lower the other side to bring the front down to 2 1/2. I also have Dakar leaf packs on the rear which come 2.50 to 2.75. That would give me too much of a rake. I was just unprepared for the "Taco Lean".
    I researched and found that the factory springs come with the lean in mind in that the driver side is somewhat stiffer and after market springs do not come that way.
    I figured that was why these coilovers were side specific on the install.

    I just installed my coil overs from toytec and on the bottom of each coil over it was labeled passenger and then driver. You may have them backwards

    Storm runner, thanks for your reply. I was aware of the side specifics on the install. I did not pay any attention as to if I had the lean prior to the install. I just got my 1/4 toytec spacer specifically sold for the lean. I should have time to install it tomorrow so hopefully all will be well after the install.
