Still not level..

04 sport 4x4 90k. After replacing the struts, shocks, sway bars and sway bar bushings the ride height was 34 1/2 on the driver side for the front and rear.

passenger rear 36 1/4
Passenger front 35 1/2

I went ahead and put a spacer on the driver side front strut last week but of course didn't measure.. I left it in and installed a daystar spacer on the rear spring.

New measurements today

Driver front 35
Driver rear 36
Pass rear 36 3/4
Pass front 36 3/4

Should i worry about that small amount being off? From looking at the back it looks a lot better but I still see the lean a bit.

If I park on even the smallest incline or bump on the left side its still very compressed idk if that's normal for these trucks or not.

I will note that I did replace the LCAs last week, the passenger side one was frozen and did not wanna move up or down when the truck was jacked up.

Also which I'm not sure if its big issue yet, the spacer I put on went on top of the spring with the bump stop in between. When I looked up some info on the install it said for the 4runner the spacer goes inbetween the spacer but there's no way it would have went that way without modifying the space.. Should I do that?

You want a little rake when unloaded, at least I like to maintain some because its there for a reason. So keeping the back a little higher than the front is ok.

I got lucky and my side to side measurements are pretty spot on. The only thing I did different on the front was add a 1/4" spacer on the driver side only.

I think you might be in a place where it might be able to call it good enough.
 
Thats what I'm thinking. Any ideas about the spacer not going in the way its supposed to?

I will also note my gas tank is only a quarter of a tank right now. I will measure again when I fill it up.
 
After filling the tank measured at the gas station it was

LF 35
LR 35 3/4
RR 36 1/2
RF 35 3/4

Because I'm me and had to f*** with it I decided to try a 1 inch spacer in the left front.
On a street not as level as the gas station

LF 37
LR 36
RR 36
RF 37 Hmm i def don't like how the front is higher them the back but I do like how high it is overall. Now what haha
