    Good morning,

    i have 14 Tundra CM and few months ago, swapped the rear shocks to Bilstein 5100s because one of the OEM ones was bad...

    but now i start to notice the gap between the rear fenders to the tires are different. My right rear leans about 1/2” to 3/4” compared to the left, even with full tank of gas.

    Could you guys give me aome insight on what i could have done wrong, or maybe se advices?

    I think i read other posts stating how Toyota manages the leveling the truck with OEM ones, but soon as we replace them, we have to add shims/blocks/etc.?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    thank you

    Is your truck stock in the front suspension? My understanding is that any lean is corrected via the front suspension and that lean is usually not an issue on a stock truck. I know of no way to adjust any lean via the rear. For instance, you would not want to add a taper or block to only one side of the rear suspension.

    Yes, its still stock in the front. So the front does have slight difference in height, but not as much as the rear. Ultimately, these differences became noticeable once i got the rear replaced to Bilsteins.....
