    Hey when i hit the brakes my truck tends to lean forward (obviously) but not straight. It leans a littel more to the right. As if my right coilover is softer or the brake is better. Could it be a problem with anything in the rear? One of myshocks lost a rubber grommet that i need to get fixed, and its onthat side, but i don't really see that being the prob.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I was just readin about how some people are having problems with the taco lean. What the hell? I did notice my truck sometimes looks like its leaning towards the drivers side. Maybe thats why it pulls to the passenger side when i hit the brakes. what causesthat lean? the leaf springs sagging differently?

    Taco lean is because the driver, the gas tank, and the battery are all on the drivers side.

    No idea why it feels like you are driving right....
