A couple days ago I was looking at my truck from the front and the front left corner seemed to be visibly "squatting", so I took out a tape measure and found the driver's side front to be about 1.5 inches lower than the passenger. The back was pretty much even. Seems to be a pretty common topic of discussion, and I know back when I had a 1st gen Tacoma, a lot of folks on that forum talked about the lean as well. Just wondering what's considered a normal amount and also curious to see if anyone has any remedies. I know front suspension upgrades are slim for the 2010-11 coil sprung 2wds, but it looks like there's a Maxtrac set that's supposed to provide 2" of lift as well as a Moog set. Anyone have experience with either? I'm not necessarily looking for a lift, just to level the front of the truck out.

you can swap the front springs, side to side. than the lifted spring will get all the weight from a single passenger and gas tank and soon you will be leveled out. lower, but leveled out.

Thanks, I guess that’s a thought. If I have to go through the trouble I guess I’ll probably just replace the coils.
