Fixing the driver side lean..

Icon stage 2, 285/70/17 tires. Now that I have had the lift installed for about 6 months I'd like to address my driverside lean. I know it's normal, and I know it can be remedied. My plan is to raise the front driverside coilover, and install either a 10 or 15mm rear spacer (shim) by dobinson or OME. Those that have done this, would you reccomended the 10 or 15mm spacer for the driverside rear? Measurements and photos attached.

Bumping this up to the top, also wondering the same thing.

Have a toytec lift with 5100s and adjustable coils. Never really noticed the lean till I installed an arb bumper a few weeks ago and lost about 1/2-3/4’ of life. And now the 1’ driver side lean is really prominent and annoying

Hoping it’s just a few turns with a spanner wrench and a 1/2 spacer in the back. Had different opinions from a couple shops who didn’t really even understand what I wanted...seems pretty dang simple to me. Anyhow don’t wanna resort to a whole new suspension

Lean

I have the OME yellow spacer that is 10mm. I think it helped, but with the front coilovers at the same height, the rear is still a little lower. I would go for the 15mm if I were you. You will probably still have to crank the driver side more to keep everything flat.

Thanks for the reply. Went with the 15mm and am going to get it installed next week.

I have a 1.5" left rear spacer (38mm) but I would estimate that with front coilovers set the same height that a 20-25mm spacer would be more ideal.

Go with a 25mm spacer, I ran a 10mm spacer and it didn't take care of the lean. The 25mm spacer evened out the back.

ah shoot. Ordered a 15mm.

Edit: Found a place over in Portland that had a 25mm, ordered that. Would rather only have to do this once.

So with the spacer in the back do you crank the front coilover up the same? So if I get the 25mm crank the front driver coil 25mm as well

I plan on installing the spacer and then evening it out. I am not sure if it's exact on the measurements. I am close to 1" on the driverside so it's gotta be close to that on the front. Of course, you don't want to crank the Coilover too high.

Makes sense. I’m guessing it might need an alignment afterwards?

Yeah I have had the icon stage 2 installed for about 6 months so the suspension has had time to settle.

Who did you order the spacer from? I normally buy from Toytec because my shop uses them. Looks like they only have 0.4" or 1.5".

I went with a dobinson 15mm, adding a second 15mm on top of it this week because a single 15 isn't enough.

I'd crank your front up first to even things out up there, which will in turn lesson the back side height difference. Then you can find a smaller 1 for back.
You might have to lower the front a little then.

No ride is the same when it comes to how much spacer I need to level.
