    Alright guys. I have a 2015 Tacoma with 32k miles that sags 1" lower on the drivers side rear end than on the passenger side. Now some details. I never really noticed it until I installed my icon lift and put SCS stealth 8's on a 265/75/R16. I was running the icon lift without Icons 3leaf progressive AAL. I noticed the lean and decided to install the AAL. So last weekend I installed the AAL on both drivers and passenger side rear end thinking it would fix the problem. It didn't. My truck still sags 1" lower on the passenger side and it drives me absolutely nuts. I know the gas tank and battery are on the drivers side blah blah. My last Tacoma did not have this issue. None of the stock leafs were cracked, I inspected them when installing the AAL. My gas tank is currently above empty and the sag is still prevalent. Anyone else's truck have this issue? Also, I've only hauled my dirt bike in the truck bed. Nothin heavy. What is going on?

    Post some pictures of the setup. Get various angles, so we can see what we are working with.

    I'll post pics in the morning before work. Photos in daylight will be better than pics I could take right now in the dark

    The leafs even with the AAL appear pretty flat on driver side . I did remove the overload.

    The OEM leafs are not that great by any means, but I'm not sure why there is 1" of difference. They may have just flattened out, but your truck isn't that old. If it was an early 2nd gen, I would understand.

    Yeah exactly like that. And the distant between top of tire to top of wheel on drivers side compared to passenger side is very noticeable

    Exactly, which is why I'm racking my brain. I bought the truck with 20k miles... Didn't really notice lean when stock. Maybe the previous owner hauled some heavy shit? Is it possible that the rear shock could be causing this? I've read the shock wouldn't effect ride height. I didn't notice any issues with shocks when installing AALs

    I'll probably have to buy the spacer you tagged. I'll still post pics. In the morning to show various angles and what not.

    Will adding the spacer cause shakes while driving? Thanks
