    Putting in some bilstein 5100s and OME 883s but I've heard there willl be inevitably be a 1/4" approx lean toward the driver side with after market suspension.

    The real problem being I cannot find anywhere to order one to Canada without shipping coming out to around $80 (twice as much as the spacer itself?)

    Just wondering if anyone has a good source for these or suggest some sort of alternative?


    Thanks yall

    The amount of Taco lean varies between trucks. It's best to do the work and drive it until everything settles and then you'll know how much Taco lean your truck has and how tall of a spacer to install. If the spacer is 1/4" tall it will lift the truck 1/2". My Tacoma has the original struts, shocks, and springs and it has a 1/4" Taco lean to the passenger side where most lean to the driver's side, idk why nor do I care why. If you own a drill and a jig saw you can always make your own spacer.

    Okay awesome. I didn't know it was such a variable thing and not such an issue in some. I'll throw the new parts on and go from there.
    thanks
