Axle crooked because of lift!

I ended up with the same problem. When you bolt down you u-bolts you MUST make sure they are even from one side to the other. I measured mine from distance between at the top (at the leaf spring) an distance between at the nuts.
Also if your tightening them to 85ftlb they will like likely loosen up. I did mine to 90-94 ftlb.
Check to make sure your tapered end of the lift blocks are facing the right directions. (short side forwad I believe)

 

My trucks sitting in the shop right now. They fired the guy who lifted my truck before because, and I'm quoting the manager, "he kept f#*king sh!t up". They believe the lift was installed wrong so there fixing it. Then I had to argue with the mechanic that my truck didn't come with a TSB and he worked for Toyota before. It's sad when a high schooler proves a grown mechanic wrong because of tacomaworld haha!

 

Just got my truck back. The block was centered on the pin and the axle isnt bent and neither is the frame. They said its either the shackle or the whole leaf pack.

 

I've got the exact same problem going on with my truck. The left tire it tilted inward toward the passenger side.

 

Oh well that is good to know. I wonder if my shackles or leaf pack is screwed up. My truck drove straight before I put the aftermarket leaf pack and new shackles on the truck. Let me know when you figure out the problem.

EDIT: Don't mean to thread jack, but do any of you know a good way to measure the axle housing to see whether it's bent?

 

Please, again... Check to make sure your u bolts are the exact same on both sides. I had this problem and it took me a bit to figure it out.

 

They look the same to me

 

Exactly my thoughts. An alignment shop will tell you your "thrust" is out. With some adjusting it can be fixed.
Also dont measure from axle to truck box. This is not a fixed part and can move freely. Measure from axle to a fixed point on the frame. Make sure the fixed point is also the same on both sides.

 

I'm thinking I'm gonna go for a new leaf pack and see if that will help and not worry about it till then. If its still sitting weird then then ill get more in depth into trying to fix it

 

any update with this? my truck is dog tracking on me too

 

Mine was just like his. All I did was take it to a shop lift it up from the frame, loosen the nuts on the ubolts on both sides retighten and mine was fixed. I also installed mine on my own and didn't have them torqued tight enough.

 

Mine is bone stock. So I'm curious to what else is going on. I'm gonna take it to a body shop and have them check my frame specs before I go buying new leaf springs

 

Is it possible your leaf pack is on backwards?

 

I have original factory springs

 

Sorry I haven't responded in awhile. The day after I took my truck in they called back and said bring it in and they'll fix it for free. They never told me what exactly they did but they said a u bolt had to be replaced and replaced it. It drives 1000x times better. You can definitely feel the difference.
