2012 limited leveling issues

[g1976]

Just bought a 12 blizzard pearl limited, April 25th. I now have 2k on it.
I noticed today after washing it up it does not sit level, it leans to the drivers side.
Does anyone know why? Its this a common occurrence? I figured everyone on here would have a better idea on how to correct this than the dealer.

Nothing added to it except a Thule t2 hitch receiver bike rack. Thanks

This is common.

The battery and gas tank sit on the left side (more total weight) which can cause a lean.

Craig, does this affect the handling at all? Do you know of any upgrades to fix this?
Such as new shocks, springs?

Front Top Plate Spacer (One - 1/4") - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

This is your resolution to the "T" as it is made to correct the drivers side height issue.

Okay, just for you I went out and measured from the ground to the middle of the wheel well all around.

With my 2" Front Spacer lift I am getting 36 5/8" all around (front-driver, front passenger, rear-driver, rear-passenger) - so a spacer lift cured my leveling issue. I've had the spacer lift installed for about 9 months, so fortunately the lean hasn't returned yet.

If you want to keep the raked look, I would look at the toytec 3/4" front spacer lift. If you read Antman's thread, they installed a spacer lift and based on their before-and-after measurements, this also cured the leveling issue but maintained the forward-raked aggressive look.

If I did it again, I'd probably go for the 3/4" or 1.5" if they had it.

Another option is to just wait and eventually install after-market suspension.

Does anyone know why?

Time to get to the gym!

I have both an OME trim packer and the lean eliminating spacer from Toytec and I still lean to the drivers side, both front and rear. I have given up on trying to fix it.
