Taco lean

Trying to understand why lifted trucks have the lean and stock does not?

 

The search function (on TW and Google) is your friend. Stock Tacomas have lean too. Caused by gas tank, battery and driver all on one side. Jeep XJs have it too.

 

I second this....

*sidenote: install 1/4" spacer during lift on drivers side, viola! taco lean gone.

 

I think Taco lean gives our trucks a "sassy" look. It's got attitude.

 

Like walking with a limp cause your dick is to big?

 

How does the 1/4'' spacer on the front fix this, does the rear not lean as well?

 

They are separate.

 

The cab and bed are separate and react differently to the added weight or driver battery etc.

 

Toyota lean is the proper term. Otherwise my FJ also had a taco lean...

 

Stock trucks absolutely do have the lean as well.

 

to my knowledge, if the truck leans to driver, and you add a spacer above the front coil, the lean will level out and disappear. I dont know how to explain why though. Perhaps it's the same principle as leveling a box for a kitchen cabinet installation. if you lift one corner, the opposite corner will drop.
since the rear passenger is higher than the rear driver, lifting the front driver will force the rear passenger down, leveling the lean. Maybe i'm wrong.

 

That makes sense.
