    C2CCC925-66F7-4075-92D9-8753CE7E0ED8.jpg So I have been thinking of getting a 2” lift kits for 05 Tacoma. While measuring the wheel well spaces to get a idea of my rake, I noticed that the truck seems to have a slight lean(the passengers side is higher). Now it doesn’t really seem to be to physically obvious but I am just wondering if this should be an issue or something I should look into fixing. I am planning to put 2 inch lift spacers in the front and back. Here are my wheel well gap measurements.
    Front driver: 5 1/4
    Front passenger: 6 1/8
    Rear driver: 6 5/8
    Rear passenger: 7 1/8

    sorry the single mud flap might make it harder to tell. But I have since read about something called a Tacoma lean? What is an acceptable lean? Am I good with it

    There’s Tacoma lean spacers that you can order it should lift your truck about 1/2” this is a common thing for all Tacomas.

    I have a motofab 1/2” spacer it fixed my lean $30 shipped. there are a number of companies that make these. Simply search Tacoma lean spacer.

    very easy to install took me about 30 mins

    I don’t have any experience with spacer lifts but from what I hear they ride not so well.

    I don’t see why you couldn’t place the lean spacer on top of the lift spacer though.

    If it were me I’d look into some 5100s which would be the next cheapest lift option
