    Maybe there are Bilstein 5100 shocks up front set on the top setting.

    Could it be the front is right but the back suspension has a problem ? To me there isn't much gap between the tire and the wheel well.

    4x4. Is it bad for the truck to be driving it around with the suspension like that?

    Hard to tell without seeing what the bump stops and suspension looks like. It’s probably got spacers above the coil overs. The reason why I ask if it was 4 x 4, is because 2x can have a spindle lift.

    Lots of guys run spacers. It’s not necessarily bad for the truck but it could be bad for the shocks if they bought them out before the bump stops do. Hopefully they used bump stock shims.

    Plenty of people run spacers without any issues. Just don’t go jumping it!

    Get some pictures from above the front wheel and from down below of the lower control arm. Also get a picture of where the rear axle meets the leave springs. Another one of the shackles.

    These are the only pictures I have right now that were sent to me. The truck is for sale, but not located near me. I was interested in the truck but not sure now.

    I think I spy a little lift block in the rear.
    I bet you the guy before you ran it that way for a while without any issues. I don’t think I would be afraid of the truck. Because I would probably plan on upgrading to a nice suspension anyways.

    It looks exactly like my “stance”... 2” leveling spacer kit. Ask them if they see this on top of the front shock...

    Looks like about 70% of the newer Tundras on the road. Definitely off looking for sure. Everyone going for the ‘level look’.

    Take pic of the top of the shock. Sure you have a spacer in there.

    Can’t really tell if it’s perfectly level or .5 inches higher in the front.

    If perfectly level, put a 1” block in the back (if there isn’t one already) and it will make it look a ton better. Tundra hood aesthetics make the truck look nose high when perfectly level, need a rake of 1” to cancel out the “optical illusion”
