anyone have their driver side a about a 1/2" lower than the front?

i have 3.5" lift up front and 3" in the back from what my shocks and coils are giving me

yet my drivers side is at about .25 inches lower than the right front and the rear is a .5" lower than the right rear...

it drives me nuts looking out my back window, plus i can see it if i stand behind my car. its little to where most people wouldnt notice but im anal about my cars

anyone with this problem ?

All 4th gens sit like that. Its due to the gas tank and other components being located on thedriver's side.
 
Some vehicles are set up like this (mostly HD pickup trucks, especially with diesel engines) because the motor when rev'ed or under load with a lot of throttle will torque to the passenger side causing the passenger side to compress down slightly. More commonly with vehicles with lots of torque if the passenger side is level with the driver side over time you will start to notice a lean to the passenger side. This is common on late '80s Dodge pickups with the diesel engine. The suspension just wasn't made for the torquey diesel. I think with the 4runner you could level it out and not have a problem with it.
 
:iagree: with both of the above statements. the weight displacement is around 55/45 to 60/40 with a driver and full tank of gas (many variables). The only solution I have seen is you adjust the driver side to compensate for the weight difference.
