Is it Taco lean??

I just finished installing 6112s in the front of my 2016 double cab sport trd 4x4. Put 5100s on the ass end as Bilstein told me the 5160s are having tons of leaking issues and said I’d be better served with 5100s.

I set the 6112s at notch 5 on the drivers side and notch 4 on the passenger side.

It now leans to the drivers side a lot. It looks like the back end is sagging on the drivers side.
Is this the infamous “Taco Lean” ? I thought the notch 5 on the drivers side would compensate enough?

 

got any pics?

 

Are you sure you didnt do 4 on drivers and 5 on passenger? Easy mistake so just asking. Taco lean is usually not that noticeable unless you really look hard or measure. but once you see it you'll always notice it.

 

I was thinking that but no. Its leaning on the ass end and the front sits level

 

Not sure what to tell you there. Taco lean is mostly in the front. Any mods to the rear other than shocks?

 

Full tank of gas will squish the left rear

 

Its half full.

 

Is there a cure to bring the ass end up on the drivers corner?

 

Better leafs. It's pretty universally agreed the OEM leafs are weak.

 

Squats worked for my wife. Brought that ass right up

 

Have you driven it around yet to let the suspension settle in? Also have you put it on level ground and taken measurements at all 4 corners?

 

So two thoughts.

The leafs will typically have a + or - on them if you changed the leafs or added an AAL. You might want to swap leafs. That's a lot of work.

The other thought is that changing your shock shouldn't have changed the lift. The springs handle lift and shocks handle the ride dampening.

What changes did you do to the rear leafs, or blocks, or AALs. That might help us narrow this down some.

 

From my aviation days, you have about 60 to 70 lbs at that corner with 1/2 tank pushing on soggy back
You should get measurements at 4 corners to see if there is a lean

 

I'm willing to bet the truck is a long bed?

Mine has always had some lean in the rear only. The gas tank is back there and the adjustment at the front has less of an effect back there simply due to the length of the chassis

 

i did do one inch blocks in the rear.

 

Are the blocks tapered? If so is the taper towards the front on both?

 

There is also this, I use one on the DS rear

Rear was torqued in the air or on the ground?

 

in the air. Never thought of this? Will it cause an issue?

 

Yes.
