Uneven Tire and Shock wear?

I am planning on making a custom box to put in the back of my 3rd Gen. It will be about 50-60 pounds when all is said and done. The box will also have compartments for tools, locking of valuables, etc. My plan was to run it over the driver's side rear tire well.

Will this cause enough uneven wear to my tires and shocks to be concerned about?

It should'nt , that is, as long as you load up the storage pocket on the other side.

Maybe build it on the passenger side to even out the weight of the driver.

and a full gas tank, but the 4runner might have been engineered with the added weight on the driver's side.

Yes, it is......but it also depends on how heavy the driver is (they typically design for the average person).
