Gangster lean, '92 4unner
so i noticed yesterday that my 4runner has a gangsta lean goin on...
it's about i measure from fender lip to top of my 15" steelies..and i got 19" in the front, and 17" on the passenger side rear, and 15.5" on the driverside rear.
what the heck? and no, there is not a full tank of gas in it..(in fact it's empty...so empty that it won't even start....) and there isn't anything heavy in the back either.
it's a trailmaster 4" lift, and i have no idea how many miles are on the kit.
i haven't ever jumped the 4runner, but i did flex it out (max flex) in my driveway.
could that have caused something? i drove up on to a small incline out here in my driveway (it's like..3ft tall, MAYBE) and i flexed the rear out (quite impressive) brought the driverside rear all the way off the ground (max flex.) then i did the same to get the passenger side rear off the ground.
i don't see any of my link's bent or anything.
but i did notice about a week ago that my rear shocks were leaking some fluid,
.
could a blown shock cause this? because i thought shocks were there just to absorb the bumps, and the coils gave the lift..which would mean even if i had no shocks, it would still be the same height.
on a similar note, i plan to get some 2" lift LC80 coils (should give like 5"-6" of lift for my 4runner) which should put me with a little bit of rake which is fine. i'll probably pick them up over the summer as well as some longer shocks and some new shocks for the front. (prolly rancho's since i can't afford Bilsteins)
My panhard bar is also slightly higher on the passenger side, maybe, 1" to 1.5" higher..heard this shouldn't be a problem....right?
i'm a newbie to 4runner rear ends lol

Notice he said coil. ZUK mod would do nothing for him.

i thought the panhard was suppoed to be level? when you get the new springs youre definately gonna have to get an adjustable panhard or a bracket drop kit

Before you do anything drastic. Go back to the front recheck your torque rods the tension isn't equal. I did the hole measure off the fender to rim. But after finding my truck leaning I put an magnetic ange finder and corrected it no worries. Something settled more after driving.

you mean my Torsion Bars?
guess just measure the amount of threads shown?
the front does seem like it's cranked a little.
But if the fronts are both level, at ~19" at each fender...then how would the torsion bars make the rear lean?
