    Hey everyone! Last time I posted was when I had my 15 sport, I did bilstein 5100s front and back but I did a spacer plate as well in the front driver side because of the “taco lean”. I’ve searched and have found some mixed reviews. Is this still a thing on 2017s? I’m looking to do the same set up on my current truck?

    thanks in advance!

    With 5100's the best course of action is to measure ride height to fender first, then set based on that.

    I still go one clip higher drivers side on 3rd gens, especially ones with miles on them.

    I think this is hit or miss. My 2017 does not have any lean, before or after I installed my lift.

    My 2019 Sport had a tiny amount but I have a fat butt so that's prob the reason. Installed Eibach Pro 2 Stage 2's and did a half turn more on driver side and never think about it any more.

    My 2020 has no lean or rake. It sits near perfect level.

    Are you running 5100s all the way around?
