Fixing the dreaded Taco Lean – Toyota Tacoma 2nd and 3rd gen using a simple spacer.
Even though the TRD PRO Bilstein had an adjustment for the infamous taco lean, I still had a lean of over 1/2 an inch.
I decided to buy the Headstrong spacer because of their good quality and price. The material is aluminum so there’s zero chance of corrosion even if the powdercoat fails. link here: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p31/HS_1%2F4%22_Top_Plate_Spacer_-_TT05514-TPS.html
I had to basically take the suspension apart like doing an install to get the spacer to fit so this is as good overview too.
here’s my vlog about the install:https://youtu.be/9mdo-GnoVhY

Hey Rob, got any sources where you can still purchase that TRD lift? Thanks bro
i finally suscribed to your fuckin pg lol
Your in So Cal?
Awesome maybe you can take me wheeling with you although my 17 Tacoma OR is still stock.
Great video. I don’t care about Taco Lean. I would NEVER install an spacer. EVER EVER EVER. @sexytacoma2.0 here lol
Awesome vid!!! I've seen pictures of the new tires on Facebook but can't wait to see them on the Taco!!!!
Really liking the pro Fox shocks. How much will it cost me to upgrade mg 2016 OR? Thanks and great video
Love your vids man! You probably have to get an alignment every month with all the mods
Was your TRD suspension installed by your Toyota dealer? What model Bilstein's are they?
Rob you've been spending so much time on your Taco. You should probably give your lawn some TLC too.
Hi Rod.. As always, thank you for your informative "how to" and product reviews.Didn't want to infect this thread with an unrelated question, but real quick. What kind of topper/shell did you get for your truck? i've been shopping around for my 5' bed and they are all expensive. Thanks.
If I was to guess this will effect the pinion angle on the drive side and could possible cause damage to your axle.
Nice work, Rob!
Where did you get the spacer from?
