Opinions Needed - TRD Pro Driver Lean Correction

[rasber3140]

So my 2017 TRD Pro 4Runner came with both coil seats on the lowest setting on the front suspension. After several back and forth rounds with the dealer I do not think they will correct the issue without me paying $$$ for it. They have repeated to me that despite the fact that the drivers side normally comes one level higher, the fact it came from port a different way is how it should be left as that is "factory settings".

Regardless of their opinions of how it should be left, I plan to correct the driver's side lean somehow. My question is this:

Would you think it is better to raise the coil seat on the driver's side to the higher setting or add a top spacer to correct?

I have already installed the 1 inch Toytec coil seats for the TRD Pro. The spacer I would look to use is the Toytec 1/4" top spacer. My lean is sitting right at 3/8" lower on the driver's side. 3/8 may be OK for some, but to me I would like to get my ride as close to level as possible. Suspension is not really my thing so I am not sure which of the choices has the most overall negative impact on ride quality and other parts (CV axles, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

What Saker said! ( but I'd still move the circlip over getting a spacer)

The port setting for the TRD Pro front coilovers, as shown on this website, always had the drivers side on the top circlip groove and the passenger side on the bottom circlip groove. That is by design to get rid of the drivers side lean and raise the front end of the TRD Pro 4Runners by 1".
(The TRD Pro Coilovers only have 2 circlip grooves.)
(They are not the same as the 6112 Bilsteins as others reference)

.... I would use the circlip setting over a spacer. It's way cheaper to rent a coil compressor and change the setting than it is to purchase spacers

Thanks Saker for the correct info. I'll retract my comment!
