Another victim of Taco Lean

I installed King 2.5 coilovers with Baja kits UCAs and a deaver mini leaf pack about 2-3 months ago.

The other day I noticed coming out of the store how bad of a “taco lean” I have on my drivers side.

First...do I fix the lean by adjusting the coilovers. My current set up is 12threads on driver side and 10threads on passenger side.

Or do I have to purchase spacer for the driver side? Would that ruin my performance on the shocks? Thank you in advance!

 

My 2008 DC SB factory standard had the same driver's side lean - and I only weigh 125! Never did figure it out.

 

1/4 inch spacers are cheap and shouldn't affect the ride at all.

 

Eat more

OP, use a 1/4” spacer on driver’s side only.

 

its the weight of the battery and fuel tank...both which are on the drivers side.

heres some vids on the subject

in terms of lift, does cranking a coilover down lead to an equal amount of lift or is it doubled, e.g. 1" of coilover crank = 2" of lift?

my truck adjusted for taco lean but i hate that the driver's side is pushed down an additional 1" of thread. i would love to use a spacer to correct this if there's no downside.

 

Yep

I have a 1/4" spacer on the driver side, no lean and doesn't affect ride.

I don't have coilovers though.

 

You have coilovers, there is no need to get a spacer. I have the same setup, add some height to the front coilover.

 

My lean isn't necessarily in the front(I just cranked up the drivers coil to compensate) but rather the rear. I can look from the back straight in and the bed slants down noticeably. I'll just put a spacer under the drivers leaf pack when I switch them out.

 

I never noticed a lean until I became a member here. FU guys, now every time I look back at my Taco its so obvious.

 

I gave many times the advice to fix the taco lean and no one wants to listen...
Go to a sleazy bar, pick up a 300+lb chick, put her in the passenger seat. Lean fixed.

 

Creates a problem with rake tho.

 

AAL + fat chick = taco problems solved

 

Unless you have a couple in the bed.
