1/4" of TacoLean...shimit?...or let it go?

I have exactly 1/4" of lean. Both front & rear.

As I understand it, the 1/4" shim delivers 1/2" of lift. Wouldn't I then just shift the lean to the other side?

Stock suspension w/ TSB rear springs.

Stock steelies and Dunlap's.

I'm probably gonna add 5100's up front soon.

[all ears men...and ladies]

 

Shim won't eliminate it completely.

When I put my COs on I dicked with additional preload on the driver's side forever before concluding the Taco lean can't be minimized below 1/4". I'd get it to 1/4" lean, adjust the driver's CO upward, re measure, and have gained height on both sides, retaining the 1/4" lean.

If it's at 1/4", I'd leave it.

 

sucks

 

Measure at multiple sites with the truck in multiple locales, and with the gas tank at various stages of fill. I bet you find different.

I thought I was level as well - and I am, at times. An unnoticeable slant to the parking lot you're in, or a full tank of gas, will change things.

My call: As long as you're within 1/4" in most all situations, call it good. That's gonna change anyway when you start loading fat friends in the cab or concrete in the bed.

 

Have you considered this?

It goes between the strut and the mount. The stock studs are long enough. Simple cheap fix. Here's a pic of mine with it. No more lean.

 

That's what I would use...except...

that shim gives 1/2" of lift. Wouldn't that just move the lean to the passenger side?

Do the math?

 

I had 1/4" of sag after I added my 5100's and eibach's...added the above 1/4" top spacer and now the truck it totally level. It's made for the taco lean, and does it's job well...

 

I'd almost bet money you'd still have a 1/4" driver side lean and you ride height will just be 1/2" higher both sides.

 

I did do the math and measured all 4 corners thru the center of hub from ground to top of wheel arches. Also measured from ground to level bottom part of frame near front and near front leaf mount. Got same thing from both sets of measurement....right at 7/16ths lower on front drvr corner with half a tank of gas. After using this spacer it is less than 1/8th inch different and is visually undetectable with empty or full tank of gas............See?



Before, it was noticeable all the time.
