Driver Lean Spacer Alternatives?

[FamousAv8er]

I currently commute an average of 40 minutes one way to work. Gradually Im starting to feel the effects of the driver side lean. I have heard plenty about trim spacers but would like to know of any other options. I was wondering if there is anybody offering another product to combat this. In an older generation thread someone mentioned a company offering springs that upgraded the ride AND had a driver specific spring for the lean.

Also i feel the lean isnt visually noticeable, if the deficit is <1" on average could you add some form of spacer to the mounting hardware of the drivers seat? Of course if possible it would affect the ergonomics.

I've never felt the lean in mine nor my friends 5th gen. Simple bad answer is put your wallet in your left pocket. That's not a good solution. I'd love to know if more people notice this.

It could definitely be some hyper sensitivity to it, knowing its there.

I would check out the Dobinsons thread. Great company with great expertise.

Feel the effects? Your over thinking it. You’re not going to feel the effects. You’re talking maybe ~1” difference from left to right. This comes from the fuel tank, battery, and weight of the driver all being on the driver side. As you use more fuel in the tank, the lean will be less noticeable from a visual stand point. But if you are actually “feeling” effects from this, then you may have other problems.

Normal fixes for the visual correction usually come in the form of a trim spacer, different spring weight/length for the driver side, or just get coil overs and adjust them accordingly.

I think you're feeling the effects of road crown

I had the same issue. Not that I could feel the effects. But Im just OCD when it comes to my vehicles. I used the Toytec spacer. It helped some. Went from 1” lean to 1/2” lean. Still not satisfied:/

The road crown should negate the driver's side lean.

What setup do you have on your vehicle? Maybe it's imbalanced?

These vehicles lean from the factory, and on purpose (not sure for what reason though). Certain roads have more angle to them than others, so unless your alignment is way off, you shouldn't feel anything from a ~1" lean in the suspension.

And if you have KDSS, that's another factor that could be adding to the lean.

I have not tried it but have bookmarked this site for future reference:

It is Aussie so it must be right!

Put a couple hundred pounds of sand bags on your passenger side.

You could always date a fat chick... Think of it as a spacer that keeps you company.

I used one trim pack spacer on the driver side & carry my aftermarket bottle jack & tool bag in the rear passenger side cargo area... Call it a day, ignore that lean & enjoy that gorgeous Yota!

Not in the fast lane on a divided highway

there is nothing to feel with the lean, they probably need an alignment and more caster
