Driver side about 1-1.5” lower than passenger

i noticed it visibly while walking up to my truck and decided to measure and low and behold, front driver is 35.5” of clearance from ground to middle of fender flare, back driver is 36.5” and front passenger is just under 36.75 ” clearance and back passenger is 37.5”. frame isn’t bent in anyplace that would cause this and shocks were just replaced. could the shocks just be bad? possibly leaf springs? not really sure where to even start looking. all tires are same size and same psi as well.

 

Others will probably offer more specifics, but it’s not uncommon to have some driver’s side lean. I’ve heard/seen it more in some of the Lexus SUVs, the “Lexus Lean”. I’ve heard it theorized as caused by the extra weight of the driver and fuel tank on the left. Idk. I personally have not seen it as much with the Tundras. But it does not automatically mean something is wrong and some will compensate accordingly in the suspension set up

Driver's lean is one of the reasons many prefer fully adjustable coilovers. You can also run a 1/4" spacer on top of just the driver's side shock to try and account for the lean. I personally don't recommend anything larger than a 1/4" spacer like this: Also, measuring from the center of the hub to the fender is the best practice to get these measurements. Measuring from the ground to the fender will take into account your tire, so if one tire is a little low of, that could throw things off (doesn't appear to be the case here as you said). Hub-to-fender measurements are also useful if you're trying to compare your suspension ride height (amount of suspension lift) to someone else's.

 

What shocks did you just put in? Could there be a driver side and passenger side? Some companies make the driver side slightly higher to account for gas tank and driver weight.

 

I realize it's echoing others but I'm getting more amazed/cautious in my thoughts on the future of AI when asking a question in google.

 

thank yall, i thought i had a big project ahead of me lol

 

Does the truck have new springs? Or just new shocks? I've replaced the shocks on my truck but I reused the original springs, and my driver's side spring is much more worn out than the passenger side. New springs could fix or significantly reduce your issue.
