Driver side lean?

[jmv7680]

What's the easiest way to get rid of the driver side lean after installing my Daystar lift? It's not too bad but I notice it...

 

[Powder_Hound]

Many find the drivers side will have a lean "almost" always as the steering box, battery and gas tank are all on drivers side. I am adding a 5 mm trim spacer to the drivers front coil when I install my new suspension this weekend. To my limited knowledge there is not much you can do except deal with it or to add another trim spacer (I'm not sure this can be done with your spacer kit), replace your entire suspension with new (stock coils could be tired), or try to find a different spacer configuration for the front where the front drivers spacer ends up roughly 5mm taller than passenger.

Good luck....

Thank you sir, if it continues to get on my nerves I will try adding the spacer on the front or change the coils all together.

After I installed my Daystar leveling kit, my 4Runner was leaning or sagging on the drivers side. I corrected it by installing a spacer on the right rear coil. Very easy install. Cornfed suspension will make a custom rear spacer for you depending on what size you need. The price was great, and it shipped out fast.

I'm the sole dealer for Cornfed and now when you order the 03-09 lift kit, the driver side rear spacer is automatically made larger to fix this driver side lean.

After you install the 2/1 kit or the 3/2 the truck will no longer have the lean! Also, this kit has a Lifetime Warranty to never compress or shrink do to the use of UHMW.

Metal Tech springs. They have a driver specific spring so you don't need the spacer in the rear and they're only another 20 or 30 bucks over the Superflex. They also ride nicer.

Thanks guys! [MENTION=238]jason[/MENTION] do i have to disassemble the front strut to put the 3" spacer in or does it install on top of the strut assembly?

Yes, you do. It's a split spacer design on the front. One above coilpack and one below. This is best way with least amount of stress. You can rent coil compressor from Advance or Autozone for like $20, and I think they refund you when you return them.

FYI -- the OME lift rear coils fit the rancho 1.5" spacer over them. Giving you 3.5" rear lift on each side with no lean.

I know this thread is old but Im just debating on getting a driver side rear spacer to correct the drivers side lean. I just had the toytec 3" lift installed and cant help but notice it sagging to the left. I don't have the tools necessary to do this install so I would need to take it back to the shop that did my lift.

My question is.. if I take it to the shop, are they going to understand what Im trying to accomplish or are they going to think its crazy to just put a spacer on one side?

Also if you have XREAS you can keep the shock in with the bottom bolt without disconnecting xreas

I used Wheelers 1/4" spacer to get rid of that driver side lean, my truck sits level with it on. 22.5" on both left and right measurements after lift.

4Runner is lower on passenger side

My 4Runner was hit on the passenger side tire, my dad changed the lower control arm and went to get an alignment, the place where I took it wrote on the receipt needs 2 bottom lower control arms, needs smaller tires because it scrapes, last but not least the height needs to be lowered. So my 4Runner is lower on the passenger side I donÂ’t know why? Can someone help me out with this one. I donÂ’t know if the top control arm needs to be changed.
