    How do I fix tacoma Lean?? I have a 2013 Tacoma on Bilstein 5100 w/ OME 2" 885 coils and Icon AAL. It's more obvious in the rear than the front. How do I fix this? Should I get new leaf springs?

    I believe most go with a 1/4” spacer.
    The rule of thumb is you’ll get 2x the lift of the spacer. So 1/4” = 1/2”.
    And that rule is approximate, not definitive.

    Front spacers yes.

    Leaf spacers is 1:1 and he's referring to the gas tank lean.

    A 2013 is likely sagging, the springs are probably flat and the AAL is likely not doing anything anymore.

    OP take a picture of the leaf springs above the axle.

    How I messed the second sentence of OP’s post, I don’t know.
    But don’t see the rear part.

    Yes, you are correct the rear is 1:1.
    As for what spacers to use. I have no opinion.
    I have never ran spacers.

    You really need to take measurements.
    Until you know the difference in height, you don’t know what size you need.
    And truthfully, I never looked into rear spacers

    My truck leans. I don’t really care. So I haven’t put a lot of research into lifts.
    I said, “no more” to modifying vehicles after the money I spent on my 1st Gen.
    If I only had the money I spent on that truck, I’d have a huge down payment on a new truck.

    Using a spacer on a sagging spring is a waste, you'll likely need u bolts, the amount of work involved just put new springs in.

    I agree


    And FWIW, my TSB springs sagged after about 3 years.
    But then again, I have a tool box in the bed, I tow a lot and use the bed frequently.

    Maybe just stab a few extra psi on the drivers side for now. It's not ideal but neither is a sagging spring.

    If you have 5100's in the front they are adjustable.
    Move the side with the lean to the next notch.
    That's what I did. It worked great. No spacer required.

    My kit allows the lowest to be at 5 psi. Im pretty sure the air bag suspension kits vary depending on the truck size.
