We're not talking about PreTacos - we're talking about 1995.5+ Tacomas, and the 'Taco Lean' is a standard feature of the model line. The driver side sits about 1/2" lower than the passenger side in most cases, but differences of up to 1" are not uncommon.

And yes - most of the 'lean' on Tacomas is induced by the additional weight on the driver side. Removing the battery and fuel tank has been demonstrated to pretty much 'level' a 1995.5 - 2004 Taco.
