Ok cool do they make a shim for the rear coil spacer that's already in there

I used an OME 10mm rear spacer to get my '13 SR5's drivers' side lean below my OCD threshold But now I can't find the page - I bought it from Toytec, but the page is not available. Part # is OME150PR10...

..and thanks to this forum's erratic piss-poor server performance, Saker beat me to it (tried to post that like 4 times now!)

Okay thanks for the part number did you also notice your front driver side low too as well as your rear driver side ?

 

[Saker]

I think they all have Drivers side lean, T4Rs, FJs, & Tacos....

Getting it below my OCD threshold is the key for me The 10mm spacer did the trick over here (no OCD meds needed or wanted!!!)...

I ordered the toytec 10mm spacers . Do you know how to tell which coil spring for the rears goes on what side ? I didn't know there was a difference and I have a feeling I flip flopped the driver and passenger side

Is there really a difference between passenger and driver side springs? Or is it just urban legend? I figured that if they hung a part number tag on the spring then they could hang a tag denoting sides too.

I have installed 3 OME lifts and could never tell a driver side from passenger side spring. I must have had incredible luck because I just guessed each time. Or maybe they are the same? On my 4Runner, they did not tell me the springs were different just that I needed a trim spacer on the driver side.

That's what I feel I never knew if there was a difference , however my entire left side sits low front driver and rear driver . I get the toytec trim packs tomorrow hopeful that will fix the issues

 

[Duke562]

Ordered both for front and rear side

I hear and read about the lean and know it is there stock. And 1/2" is the normal issue. I know OME sells spacers and I never saw anything from them saying the springs are on the wrong side. That being said, I am aware that many also believe there is a driver and passenger side spring.

Luckily, my driveway is sloped and I never park on level ground. :bluejump:

You're smart: Once you see it, you cannot un-see it Never attempt to look for it the one time you happen to be on level ground or it will nag at you until you resolve it :tongue1:

I can still see mine ever so slightly in the garage, but it's well below my OCD threshold since I installed the 10mm driver's side spacer.

My OCD meds are working. The lean was there and I never paid attention.

I just pulled a picture of my FJ and it leaned. Or it could be because I was in it too.
