    Hey guys, so I just threw some 3 in blocks on the yota. The truck is leaning on one side. The driver side some edge of fender to the rim is 5 1/4 inches. The passenger side is 4 3/4 from fender to rim. The truck always seemed to be leaning but I can definetley tell now with the smaller wheel gap. It levels out once I sit in it though. Haha

    Yeah but I'm having the lean on the rear. Not the front.

    Adjusting the front will help.

    You can always try to get a bolt on block from beefedtaco but id say adjust the torsions

    get your truck on a level surface and measure all 4 corners...see where its off. if one side of the front is off it will make the opposite corner rear off. which you can tweak with a torsion bar adjustment.

    Update: Drove a 100 some miles and retorqued the u bolts. Upon crawling underneath I noticed that it's level. I guess it had to settle in.
