    Hello all, I need some help. I have a 2024 4Runner TRD off-road premium NON KDSS and recently just installed Dobinsons IMS full suspension kit (2.5” front lift part#302 with extended travel struts and 0.5” rear lift part#323) with Dobinsons tubular UCA’s. After lift was installed, the following were my measurements from center hub to fender:


    FT DR: 22.75” FT PS: 23”
    RR DR: 23” RR PS: 23.5”

    After driving with them approximately 1,000 miles now, I remeasured from center hub to fender with following measurements:

    FT DR: 22.75” FT PS: 23.25”
    RR DR: 23” RR PS: 24”

    My passenger side went higher when I was expecting it to settle a little lower. Does anyone know why this is and is it a concern?

    I also would like to know if my CV angles are also a concern or if mine look normal. I will post a picture.

    Driver side lean is quite common. Many companies make a small shim for the driver side to offset that lean. It's purely esthetic and won't affect anything. Keep in mind your fuel tank is on the passenger side, so a full vs empty tank can affect those measurements.

    Your CV angle looks great.

    @PVT Pablo thanks for the response. I thought the fuel tank is on the drivers side

    Ha! Ya know when you're right you're right. I walked out to the garage and looked under and said, "Well shit." Getting forgetful in my old age. You're right. It is driver side.

    The driver side statement is factual however with the products to fix that slight lean.
