    JBA UCA, Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Kit (Lift & Level), 1/4" shim spacer (Driver), AirLift 1000 Airbags, TRD Pro Wheels, 275/70/17 Yokohama Geolander MT's
    All the parts are starting to roll in!
    Lift, UCA, wheel spacers, and diff drop. Potentially going to add bags as well.

    Big question, sifting through the forums, a lot of information says the SR5P (maybe all) come with different spring heights up front to account for lean.
    I’m wondering after adding Eibach stage 1 lift/level, am i going to now experience noticeable driver side lean.
    Planning to reach out to the service or engineering department for Eibach tomorrow if no luck here. I’m just wondering if I should go ahead and pull the trigger on a driver side front coil spacer in the event I am guaranteed to see lean.

    what’s your all’s experience here.
    Thanks in Advance!

    I believe the driver's side has an extra half turn on stock springs, there's different color dots on them. I replaced mine with the toytec hd springs and they were the same spring for both driver and passenger. I do not see any noticeable lean on my 4r

    I added a .25” spacer on the front drivers side on mine, don’t know if it really needed it but it sits level.

    About to do this tomorrow. A buddy of mine who owns a custom shop has a plasma cutter/ table and he is going to cut me a piece matched to my spacer kit. The steel plate measures at .220' in thickness, so lift/ leveling should be just under 1/2". The difference between my driver and passenger side is right at a 1/2' with a full tank of gas. So in theory... I should be goodo_O ish...
