    So I lifted my truck today, and after the work was done I noticed my truck was slightly slanted to the front. Is that just a thing where it needs to settle or do I have a problem?

    It’s a 2.5 rancho suspension lift. 2.5 up front and 1 inch block in the back.

    Well you should be close to level front to back. Can't be a whole lot, did you measure to wheel lip all four corners? You want a bit of a rake front to back, so when you carry a load in bed your not nose high (aka Bro lean) I have a 1" rake. Most common rake. That or are you talking about front left to front right slant?

    That’s probably what I have then. I’ll measure it out. I also noticed I have the so called taco lean. Any solution to that? Sorry for the dumbness I don’t know much.

    Depends on how much Taco lean? Then have a 1/4" top spacer for common Taco lean gives you 3/8" to 1/2" on Drivers side to correct that. Have to pull drivers side out to install. Yes, suck that you have to due so again.

    One other thing... They weren't marked Drivers/Passenger side? Some are, not super familiar with Rancho. Your's are the adjustable, like 9 position?

    Well that one good thing then. That means you don't have to pull both side to fix Taco lean. Just looked at install instructions on them, and didn't see that they were.

    Did you mean center of wheel vertically to fender lip?

    That's what takes the wheel/tire size out of the equation.

    Double check, I just skimmed over it quick.
    Yes, or from ground in his case just to figure out how much rake, and Taco lean.

    Looks good, did you measure for Taco lean? Let us know how much. When you fix lean it will drop right rear a bit also.
