    lift kit
    Hi I'm new here
    I got 2021 4runner TRD off road premium, I had icon lift kit put 3 weeks ago
    icon 2.5 adjustable 0 - 3.5 in the front,
    icon 2.0 with oil reservoir in the back. new coil in the back 1" higher.
    when job was done the driver side was lower than the passenger 1/2'' in the rear
    3/4" in the front, the front shocks adjusted the same, no kdss
    can anyone suggest why ?

    Well, what’s your lift in the front? Lol 0”-3.5” tells us nothing. You probably need to adjust them. They’re coilovers, shouldn’t be hard for you to do. You probably need to adjust drivers side coilover to compensate for the lean you get from a full tank of gas. I have a .5” spacer on the drivers side shock for this reason, so you probably just need to crank up the drivers side coilover by .5”
    Look up specs on how much lift you get from turning the coilovers.

    Need to adjust drivers side for compensate for the lean.

    Not sure why the rear is off I say do the front first.

    Its a 4RNR They ALL lean that way. Tank and driver on same side.

    Get a fridge and mount your spare on the passenger side. Done.

    So when he throw a load on the drivers side it leans again? Best idea I've heard.

    Like the others said, adjust the coilovers to compensate.

    I load heavier items on the passenger side as well to try balance it out. My coilovers are adjusted the same on both sides and I don't have a noticeable lean.

    Not sure if its the talent of the installer. Here's my measurements;

    <Update this is ELKA suspension not ICON. It was pretty much same when I had OME>
