    Have a 2019 Tundra with Eibach stage 1 set at top setting. Suspension seems settled in now and noticed the driver front to have about 1/4 lean. Any suggestions on fixing this?

    Shim the front.

    The driver side rear OEM spring is set up for this so if you ever do a pack replacement you may need to shim there too.

    Too many, but not enough....
    If you are sure it's only a quarter inch you want then get a 1/8 inch shim

    With the CB shims, you can stack 2 if you need to. Your measurements will dictate 1 or 2.

    Could these spacers be used to level out the truck? I have stock suspension, I like a bit of rake personally but wondered about taking a bit of it out..

    Granted, I wasn't on a tundra forum for probably a good 5+ yrs before getting the current truck and joining here. But, I had my 2015 for 4 yrs and was still active on another site for the 1st yr or 2 that I had it.
    I don't remember ever hearing about this side/side lean before and I've probably heard about it 3-4 times recently here.
    Questions:
    Is this specific to 2.5 gen?
    Is it specific to later years?
    Is this done intentionally by Toyota, or is this random?
    If it's intentional, anyone know why?

    1/4"? Just leave it. It's a truck. Even the amount of gas in the tank will throw it off that much or more...so unless you correct it with 1/2 a tank and always carry 1/2 a tank, it'll still be out. Not to mention, perfectly 100% level ground.

    It doesn't affect anything, no one can see it, unless you measure with a ruler, you likely can't see it either.

    I'm guessing if you were to measure gaps and spaces in other areas, you would notice other things not symmetrical and uneven.

    So I have it on a level floor and re measured. It’s about 1/2 in lower on LF. I could tell while driving and I notice it when parked.

    1/4” shim = 1/2” of “lift.”

    Did this on my 2014 when I added 6112s up front…it leveled out the 1/2” driver side lean.

    Other than putting a tape measure on the fender to the tire and proving to myself it is level, this goes into the “overthought” bin…totally not worth the money or hassle unless you have the assembly out for an upgrade.

    Would the shim fix the pass side bed droop as well?

    So you recommend me going with the 1/4 shim? I still haven’t ordered anything so I’m trying to figure out which one I would need. Don’t want to get the 1/2 in shim and be too much
