    Finally lifted her! Got a new set of the 17x8.5 0 offset FSW replica Tacoma 16''s. Picked up a used set of 255/80r17 Cooper's to test fit.
    OME struts and shocks on 885 and 895 springs. Threw in 1/4'' top plates under the front struts.
    This is my favorite vehicle I have owned!

    I did some measuring before, after lift and with the 33's. The Passenger Rear def sitting lower than the other numbers. Any thoughts on what to do to correct it? or even worry about it? ha.
    Thanks

    Good looking rig. 1/8" difference? I wouldn't worry unless you are OCD about things like that.

    The Right Rear is about 5/8'' lower than the Left Rear.

    If you just installed the lift, give it a 500 miles to settle in and then measure it again.
