Help with Tundra/Bilstein lift

[Oldgraffer]

Hey guys, new to posting so go easy Just did the trd tundra coil with bilstein 5100 lift on my 99'. Rides great, however, the lift it provided is 1/2"-3/4" higher on the passenger side than on the drivers side. Did confirm blue/yellow is on passenger side. Any thoughts? Should I be worried? Thanks

I've heard that sometimes happens with our 4runner, something to do with the weight distribution. Driver side a little heavier maybe. I've read of folks using trim packers or small spacers to even it out.

Make sure they are seated correctly. also they should settle about 1/4-1/2 and inch over some time and millage.
Thats quite a big difference from left to right side, could your try swapping them? i know you said you checked but thats way off.

the lean to the driver side is caused by the fuel tank and all the fuel inside.
Ether try switching the springs. or add some trim packers to the small side to bump it back up.

good luck and welcome to the forum! :thumb3:

i know this sounds dumb, but are they on the same perch?

I double checked everything. I used the tundra isolators with the 4runner top hats. bilsteins both on 2nd perch. What sucks is if I switched the sides or added spacers I would have to do an alignment again right? Would anything mechanically be compromised if I just drove it until I change my LBJ's?
