    I figured you were a first-time owner, everybody who's had a Tacoma in the past knows about Taco lean

    The most economical solution is to look at it only when your gas tank is empty and your significant other is in the passenger seat.

    .. I'm gonna go with transfer of weight joke instead.

    More weight on passenger side than on driver side = less lean.

    How many folks who fret over 'lean' and 'level' have spent track time with a vehicle that was properly corner weighted vs compared to the same vehicle that was adjusted to look good?

    Just curious.

    'Others' not 'other'.

    One front seat, one rear. Takes two to counter the natural lean which is increased with the drivers weight.

    Or you could just use sand ballast. A lot cheaper than two significant others. And more useful in icy conditions.

    Add a hot babe to the passenger side. Solves more than one problem.

    No...... not at all. You think your truck gets expensive, try keeping a hot babe happy.

    I never said it didn't create others. Just that it solves some.

    Sounds like you need a counterweight... perhaps a big dog?

    They just do that so you drop your guard and put a ring or two on her finger, then you're doomed because it gets even more expensive to get her to remove them.

    You need at least 160 pounds to counter the fuel tank....and add to that whatever you weigh........

    Maybe we need to define "hot babe".....

    My Gen 4 4runner is level side to side
    It also has the fuel tank on the drivers side

    I don’t understand how my 2016 Tacoma has a 1” lean, even with new RC rear springs.
    I just don’t want to add an inch spacer in the rear and a half inch in the front because due to the previous owner lying through his teeth (owner of Accent exteriors in Courtenay BC) the truck has had 2 alignments in the first 3 months of owning it and finally undisclosed issues resolved.
