    Can ya spell Tonneau
    I don't think so. TO exaggerate, you could have more droop from a spring with a single leaf, but (a lot) less ride height.

    It does make a difference though to measure center of hub to fender. It gives a more accurate reading as ballaculla has stated. You may not be as off as you might think. Do this and then try what was mentioned above about torqueing stuff on the ground vs in the air. And comparing against other peoples rides is so you will know if you're at a normal vs abnormal height. All part of the diagnosing process.

    EDIT: Can you see the lean with your naked eye, or are you basing all this off measurements?

    Looks like re-torquing in the ground may have made a little bit of a difference. Now I'm only leaning 1.25" in back and about the same up front

    I'm running Fox 2.5 w/ RR coilovers in the front and Fox 2.0 w/ RR extend in the rear with Dakar leaf packs. The "+" and "-" on the leaf packs are shipped random but if you happen to get different then good for you if not then it doesn't matter. My driver side was 1.25" lower and had to really adjust the driver coilover collar an extra 4 full turns. The front center hub to fender should be 23" for a 3" lift. The rear should be 24" from center hub to fender but idk what it should be with you shackle flip. Forget the fox spanner wrench bc it wont work with Remote Resi's bc of the hose in the way which they dont tell you. Go to harbor freight and get a hole punch set 5/8" fits perfect in the hole with out damaging and only cost $5. You want to jack up the truck spray the collar and lower spring seat with WD40 then release the set screw on the collar and crank away. It will be a trial and error between setting the height and letting the truck settle. Make sure you are on level payments or it will throw everything off.

    EDIT: I have around 250# of armor with skids and slidder and I have to really crank the preload to get it ride at 3". Saddly Fox runs 600# springs and they utilize valving for their performance. I will be switching to 650# springs from Eibach to eventually handle a bumper.

    I'm a first gen and my OME leafs (CS046R) were side specific with A/B part numbers for driver and passenger sides. They were slightly different in overall eye-to-eye length, I forget which was longer. It looks like that isn't the case for you second gen guys. I found this chart for ARB products on their website and they list a different part number for the second gen rear leafs than the one you mentioned in your first post - EL095R - http://www.arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/toyotaTacoma.pdf

    I ordered all my OME gear from Wheelers Offroad and they were super helpful in selecting the right parts for my application. Might be worth giving them a call.

    thats the new leaf pack that come out a couple months ago. neither the new one or the one i have are side specific. I'm going to switch sides anyway and see what it yields.
