Help! Lean has me baffled...
2016 SR5 non kdss
4wd

Running dobinsons c59-675v in the rear with 59-575 shocks
All other suspension parts stock

The truck is leaning on the drivers side rear something fierce! Dobinsons even sent me another rear coil free of charge, I swapped it and got the same amount of lean. I have even went as far as disconnecting the sway bar, seeing how much tension the stock links were under.... but still no effect on lean.

Fender to ground
Rear passenger: 41.5 inches
Rear driver: 37.5 inches

Any ideas?

That seems really off...Try moving it to another spot and see if it was due to uneven ground. Also, how much gas weight is in there right now?

Half tank

Yes I’ve moved it around and measured, same issue.
I’m kind of at my wits end

Get it on a lift, loosen all the suspension related bolts and re-torque them to factory spec at full droop.

Is this a common install issue that causes this?
At this point I’m willing to try anything

Are you missing that cone shaped bumper that goes on top of the spring from the low side? Are the installed springs the same height? Are both springs seated properly at the bottom?

You should post some pics of the lean and then underneath to see shocks/springs/arms

Edit: those are 3” springs right? Maybe an adjustable track bar is in order, also, at droop you may even be needing adjustable/offset lower trailing arms

I’m working on the photos

Yes they are the tall springs... will the adjustable track bar help the lean When the truck is sitting level?

I plan to add the rear trailing arms eventually when I bend something, but for now I’m looking to remedy this lean

I don’t know exactly, I do run their 677v coils with adjustable track bar andtrailing arms without issue
The comment on track bar is mostly from doing coil swaps: the driver side has the track bar mount on the axle which makes that side feel tighter and more difficult to stretch out, could that maybe translate to excessive lean if the coils are fighting the geometry enough?
