    3rd Gen Lean

    Well here's a new wrinkle guys... Noticed yesterday that the truck didn't appear to be leaning at all. My wife confirmed that it looked much less "leany" as well. Measured the rear fender heights from the ground and now they're only 1" different instead of 1.75" different. The front fenders...

    3rd Gen Lean

    Ya that's what I'm worried about. I suppose it's possible a spring could've popped out of a seat but it hasn't been off road since the change and I can't imagine flexing enough on pavement for that to happen.

    3rd Gen Lean

    Will do, it leans from the front and back so I'll get measurements too.

    I'll post pics this afternoon! The truck is at my house.

    3rd Gen Lean

    I know I have coils. I replaced them myself.

    3rd Gen Lean

    You think the left spring has just sagged that much already? That would be RIDICULOUS haha. I have daystar spacers in the rear so it's not shorter than the front...maybe one of them came off haha

    3rd Gen Lean

    The rear springs were the exact same height so I figured they were identical. Plus, the truck sat level when I did the swap about 8 months ago; just recently got the lean. I measured from the ground to the fender so I think when I get home I'll measure form the hub to fender which would pretty...

    3rd Gen Lean

    My 2000 SR5 4x4 is leaning significantly to the drivers side. I installed new stock (Monroe quick struts and sensatrack shocks and Moog springs) coils, struts, and shocks all around about 8 months ago and I removed the rear sway bar about a month ago. Just noticed the lean for the first time...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    The more I talk to her the more I understand that the ride is alright for the truck, but she wants a less "trucky" truck. 4th Gen in our future perhaps...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    Ya at the time, the 4th gen was my DD and she had an Acura TL. I sold the 4th gen V8 and got a VW TDI because fuel cost was killing me as I drive about 40k miles a year for work/life. In retrospect, should've given her the 4th gen and sold the Acura but we couldn't afford that. Not sure we...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    I took the truck to my buddy's auto shop yesterday (he has owned a 2nd gen and 3rd gen) and he took the truck for a ride. He said it was one of the best-riding 3rd gens he had been in, haha! So that was good and bad because that means there is likely little room for improvement. He did a...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    Ultimately I think I'm gunna have to sell the T4R and get her a crossover or possibly a 4th gen. I had a 2006 Sport and she LOVED that truck. I'd like to trade up but obviously I prefer having the tiny car payment that I have on this truck plus, I'm not sure why, but I REALLY like this truck and...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    You certainly have a point but ultimately I want my wife happy with the ride and she told me it's been much better since I removed the rear sway bar. The front sway bar end links are in good shape. Sold it to a user on the forums about 6 months ago, sorry! I'm highly considering getting some...

    Anyone in Wilmington, NC?

    Hey everyone, I'm looking for any fellow 3rd-gen owners in (or near) Wilmington, NC! My 2002 SR5 4WD came with OME/Toytec coils and Bilstein 5100s and I soon discovered the ride was way too harsh for my wife (it's her daily driver). So I put on Monroe Quick Struts up front and Monroe...
