    Got a 2014 trd sport with some nice taco lean in the rear, almost an inch difference (39" from ground on back passenger side, 38" driver side rear). I got a fresh pair of 2019 trd off-road leaf springs I'm trying to buy off FB to swap in. My only problem is I think my AAL has flattened out a bit from hauling. My question is would a fresh set of springs, and that old AAL do what I need it to do to correct the lean? Anyone done this before? A 1/2" spacer plate on top the coilovers wouldn't hurt either.

    They sell a spacer for the rear to correct rear taco lean.

    Super interested in that. But to correct without a spacer? Get new springs?

    I don’t think new springs will help that, I fixed mine by mounting my hi-lift and keeping all the tools and other heavy stuff on the passenger side of the bed.

    The spacer did not work for me....

    Currently I have the front driver side coil spacer and spacers in the rear (1.5" on driver's side and a 1" on the passenger) and I can still see it leaning to the driver's side.... not significantly, but I can still notice...

    Now I've got a full tank of gas, but there's no way that a fresh set of springs and that AAL wouldn't help fix the problem. Just need some other input before I pull the trigger on these. I'd love to get some OME springs down the road.

    I once parked on a hillside for a week. Took almost a year before the springs went back to the 'relaxed' state.

    Sorry...i cant remember if it was toytec or HS or ? And i couldnt get toytecs mobile site to work correctly. I also have rear taco lean.

    Its more like a thin block or shim. Maybe i shouldnt have called it a spacer.

    Ill still look for the link.
