Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "Tundra , left side lower than right", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
i bought this truck about 30 days ago. the suspension looks
like original equipment. really cheap looking rear shocks
with plastic dust cover on top , not boots. is oem front shocks
height adjustable ?
Not uncommon. I groaned to my dealer a few years ago. They blamed it on the battery and gas tank being on the left side. Phoned Toyota's customer service folks. They stated the same and advised unless it was more than 1 1/2"'s or something, can't remember now, that they wouldn't do anything about it. Some adjustable coilovers addressed the problem from the front...
All a man really needs for happiness in this world is a good woman, a faithful dog, and a big-a$$ed set of tires on his truck.

It's normal for the driver's side to be lower because the battery, gas tank, driver are all on that same side. But an inch does sound like a lot, mine is about 1/2" lower. Remember a full vs. empty gas tank makes a difference too.

You would think that since the drivers seat is the one seat that is always used when the truck is driven and probably the others are empty, they would place the battery and gas tank on the right side of the truck to balance out the weight of the driver. At least place the battery on one side and the gas tank on the other.
I remember a teacher in high school who had a very big wife. She drove a small car and one day we saw her drive across the school parking lot. The car had a extremely noticeable lean toward the drivers side, probably 4-6 inches.
