Driver’s side lean on “replaced” stock suspension/front end?
Recently had a bunch of suspension and front end work done. No special parts, just what my trusted shop recommended for replacement.
I’ve now noticed that with a full tank of gas the drivers side is .75-1” lower in the rear than the passenger side. The front is equal left and right. With an empty tank it’s way less noticeable. I know drivers side lean is common with aftermarket lift kits, but, should I be worried about .75”-1” of the classic “driver’s side lean” with a “reworked OEM” suspension?
I really don’t care about the looks of it...more worried about wear and tear on my beloved ride.
Thanks again, all!

Totally normal. Some never mess with it, others obsess over it. Won't hurt a thing

Normal, unfortunately.
I plan on adding a Toytec 1/4" spacer on the front and one of those OME trim packers in the rear to help get the driver side a little more equal to the pass side.

I cancelled my lean with spacers in the rear. I also have them up front but on both sides as I prefer symmetry in the ifs, so the lean is dealt with on the rear end.

Thank you so much, everyone. I was having a panic attack this AM (as I so often do over any little self-perceived issue with my beloved T4R).

Order an ome trim packer for the driver rear, shouldn't take more than hour total to install and $20. Will bring it up about 1/2"
