    Stock TRD OR, stock tire/wheel size, camper shell. ~ 3/4 tank

    Attached pic is of the rear heights.

    Passenger side ~ 2.5" higher than driver side.

    I've heard of the Taco Lean but 2.5" seems outrageous to me.

    Post yours!

    Something is wrong with your measurements... taco lean if it's over 1/2" you have another issue, like and chassis bushing or mis-aligned bed. Or someone whacked your truck in the back in a parking lot and you are not aware of the damages yet.

    I watched a car in front of me rear end another car in front of her. The whole car came off the grown all 4 wheels; the car that she ran into, I couldn't tell there was any damage. They were going very slow... I couldn't believe how high off the ground the rear car lifted.. boom... 3 cars were involved in front of the offending vehicle... none of the cars looked visually damaged.

    My taco lean was maybe 1/4 inch after a few years of owning it. I got a top place spacer and it fixed the issue.

    Were you parked on a level surface? Sometimes when I'm parked on what appears level it'll lean like you have a sumo wrestler in your drivers side rear seat. Check it on a flat/level surface for accurate measurements? :notsure:
