Those with a lift without adjustable coil overs

How much drivers side lean do you get up front?

I have a full inch of difference between drivers and passenger side in the front. Think it got worse after I dropped the sway bar.

I'm thinking about getting rid of some of it with a 1/4 top plate spacer. I'll eventually do coil overs, but its bugging me enough to try a quick cheap fix now.

Curious if this is the norm.

Mine (Bilstein 5100) is just now beginning to show about 1/4" drivers side sag after 9 months, 18,000 mostly highway miles, and 150 pounds of bumper/winch add on. Still not enough to be obvious. And I weigh 275 lbs. But I guess I should count myself lucky.
 
Don't quite fit your profile (have adjustable coils), however, I can confirm it gets worse with no sway bars. I was within 1/4" of level prior to dropping the front sway bar. It went to well over 1 1/4" after removing it. I had to adjust the driver-side coil to bring it back to something reasonable. It's still not as close as I'd like.

I haven't run a rear sway bar for a while so I can't quantify if that deletion had any impact or not. Definitely nothing I noticed.
 
I have some pretty major lean on my 4runner. I have OME 884 springs up front and All-pro 2" springs in the rear. Bilsteins all around.

I have a touch over 1/2" lean in the front and between 3/4" and 1" in the rear.

It is pretty noticeable - especially since I drive a black sr5 with a chrome strip along the rear bumper to act as a level...

My plan is to install the 1/4" toytec spacer up front, and swap out the all-pro springs for SAWs with stacked OME 10mm spacers on the driver side.

In hindsight, I should have just got the boss. It would have saved me some hassle and cost.

My front driver side was about .75" lower than the front passenger side prior to the lift. I posted some pictures/measurements of the sag here.

When I had the Toytec 2.5/1.5 lift installed--which was the only thing that would work with my XREAS--I had an extra .25" spacer installed on the front driver side. I haven't taken any measurements, but visually it seems to have done the trick.
