    I know there's some talk about how to correct the famous tacoma driver's side lean, but I haven't seen anything yet saying which method is the best/most desirable results/easiest... I'm in the process of leveling my 2017 DCSB 4x4 sport, with 5100 3rd gens set at the 1.1" (3rd notch) lift height. I have also ordered BOTH the 1/4" strut spacer that is said to lift that side 1/2", thus correcting the driver side lean, however, will that correct the back as well? I have ordered the 1/2" rear block as a fail safe in the event that the strut spacer doesn't perfectly level out my truck. I'm pretty dead on at 1/2" lean so i'm going to start with the strut spacer when I install my 5100s and see if I need to add the block in the rear. My question is this: Should I use the bilstein shocks themselves and put the driver side on the 1.55" setting, use the strut spacer only, or the rear block, or both, or none?!?!
    I'm hoping people are having luck with at least one of these options, otherwise I will be the guinea pig and try out all options and see which is best. I'd prefer not to have to take my front end apart multiple times, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo

    Did it lean before you lifted it?
