95 tacoma reg cab leaning to left

If I look at back of truck it leans pretty noticeably to the left when I bought it it just had new rear leafs put on would a bad shock make it lean? And I got on rear bumper bounced on each side and the side that's leaning over isn't as springy and the other side. Much help appreciated

Diet?


Let your springs settle in.

What does a diet have to do with it? I've only had it road worthy a week and guy before me could have only been 170 soaking wet and it does it with 2 people in the cab and corners diff in left and right handers

I was kidding. Let the springs settle in. After new leafs....it takes time for them to relax into final ride height. If you mess with anything now....it will just change. Once settled in....then adjust.

So that would cause 2-4 inch difference between sides?

No....thats either a bad install...or wrong springs.

Get some pictures of this leaning Tower of Toyota for us. Get underneath...shots of springs...shackles...etc..

Mine does it too but I dont care! I drive the hell out of it anyway. LOL Most likely the front spring is the culprit.

The front isn't bad its just the rear I think its a junk shock on rear driver side just seeing what you guys think and like I said the passenger side feels more springy then the driver side

Could be they only did the right side and being newer sits higher.

got the wrong spring

just a bad spring that flattens out.

A bad shock unless it is the wrong one should not effect ride height.will have the truck handle very poor.

although strange things do happen
