Just installed lift, few questions...

Just installed bilstein 5100 lift, few questions about my lean ...

I have a 2014 t4r TE. I installed 5100's all around. Fronts are set at lowest setting clip with toytec eibach 521600 coil springs. The front driverside is lower than passenger. Is this normal and i need a top plate spacer to correct this lean?
Also the rear is same issue. There is a 1" lean on driverside. I do have nearly a full tank of gas.
If i need a top plate spacer on driverside front, will the toytec 1/4" do the trick? Is that what most of u guys need to fix the lean issue?

My tacoma had same issue as well as my 3rd gen runner. Weird thing is my numbers i measured before install wasnt even leaning that much, now its worse. Wonder if the stocks has a stiffer coil on the driverside to help with the lean.

I've never heard of such a thing! You should probably go back to the dealer and see if it's a factory defect. Did you measure the differences before you lifted it? was it leaning before or only after the lift?

So what i have is just enough of thread left on the coilover mounting top studs to accomidate 1/4" spacer but anymore than that thick will need to be disassembled to add longer studs which will suck! Hoping the 1/4" top plate spacer will be close enough to help make it look right. Hate this has a lean!!
As far as rear, i used a daystar poly spacer that was 1 1/2" then had my work machinist cut them down to 1 1/8" thick so i wouldnt have too much rake. Im thinking ill shave it down more to help with the rear lean.

For the record, this is not Toyota specific, my last non-Toyota SUV had a similar lean. I stopped paying attention years ago...

If you shave the passenger REAR spacer down, it will also help even out the front.
