    Do NOT heat the springs or try some home brewed method. Heat cycles will decrease metals strength. I’d talk to a professional.

    No problem. It was just a thought.

    I just added stage 3 icon suspension....I had bilstein 5100 before in the next to the last clip to level up the front and 1 inch blocks in back. Didn't notice any lean. Now with the icon stage 3 which adds 3 leafs in back I now have the lean on the drivers side. Didn't notice it until they swapped the suspension.

    I've had Icon stage 8 on my 2007 for a year... only a 1/2" difference between driver and passenger sides. Not that noticeable and in my opinion not worth having the front coilovers adjusted differently from right to left.

    I agree with that. I have a slight rub on the driver side backing up.....so I wanted these coil overs set up to max 2.75 lift....they didn't get the message and left them sitting like they came out of the box....there's another 7/8 inch adjustment at the coil.

    The early 2nd gen models with 3 leafs were recalled. Mine never leaned this much. About 3/8ths in the front and 5/8ths in the rear with oem springs. Measure from the frame, not the body, which can have some variance.

    The taco lean is due to gas tank, driver, battery, and steering, all on left side of the truck. You really cant just stiffen up the left side to fix it. You need spacers or distribute the weight better. Messing with preload on one side can have negative effect on handling.
