    Crank up the CO's on that side a little bit. Thats all you can do.

    LMAO!!! How much higher is the driver side than the passenger side?

    I'd pay $25.00 for one of these and help anyway I can. Mine has a 1/2" difference that is noticeable without me in it.

    got a question, is the taco lean only noticeable after a lift? i measured mine before lift and my driver side is only 1/8" lower than the passenger. i am having a 5100/aal lift installed next week and wondered about this. should i expect the same difference in height with a lift installed?

    Mine was 1/2" lower from top of tire to top arch of fender flare before lift with no occupants. After using the TT 1/4" top spacer on drvr side it is same on both sides. I woulda bought Chris's if it had been available awhile back.

    Welcome to TW, Joseph!
    I left you a message, and I think some of your issue may lie in the lift you have. Get back to me at your convenience.

    Big Thanks to Chris today. After installing 5100's at the 1.75 setting last night I still had the lean of about 3/4". Talked to Chris this morning about it and he already had a spacer ready for me. I had to work for a couple hours but he came right over to my house afterwards and broke out the tool bag. He put a spacer on there but my first measurements were a little off so it still leaned just not as bad. I took it to Toyota to get aligned and look at the lean since it's at 35,935 miles. I basically got the Go Pound Sand answer I expected. They took measurements from the camber and said everything is within specs. I asked about the body leaning even I after the spacer and he said its within the 1 1/2" spec. I was quite surprised by that and basically got no where with him. So on to the next phase.

    He said that about the body. I asked him that my truck could lean an 1 1/2" and thats acceptable? Then he told me his service guy gets paid to replace parts and not measure so if could replace any parts that he would but there's nothing they can do.
