    Hello TacomaWorld.

    I rotated my tires today and installed 1.5 inch KSP spacers at the same time.
    I may be crazy, probably am, but the “poke” seems greater on the passenger side then the driver side. That does not compute to me.

    I did the drivers side wheels first, then the passenger side. But each wheel I did the same exact procedure— clean, anti seize on each mating surface, used blue Loctite, torqued bolts to 80 foot pounds.

    Anyone have a similar experience? Or thoughts?

    She tracks nice and doesn’t pull or drift or anything.

    I think you’ve been looking at it for too long.

    I saw a post on this same issue and it was the bed alignment that corrected it.

    I chose blue over red because I read somewhere about having to heat red to loosen. I hate torches and whatnot.
    My thought process was: I’m gonna be a good boy and check torque regularly. I marked each nut securing the spacer for quick visual reference as well.

    Was wondering if spacers effect alignment significantly....
