I recently purchased a 2000 toyota tacoma trd with a 3 inch fabtech lift. I didn't notice it until I bought it that the right side of the rear end sits up about an inch higher than the left. I called the guy I bought it off of and he said the frame was slightly "tweaked". So my question is what is the cheapest way to fix the problem. A friend told me to add a leaf spring to one side and another friend told me to get adjustable air shocks and pump the left side up until it was even. I am a first time 4x4 owner and I need help. Thanks for your time.

You might want to take it to a frame shop to see how much * tweeked * it really is...then get an estimate...and if its not too bad just have them strech the frame

A good shop will be able to get is back completely straight if it isnt to bad.

Did you test drive the truck did it drive straight?

Yup if it still drives pretty good, with no serious problems Id take it to a frame shop to get her fixed.  Youd be better off in the long run.

My dads old 2000 dodge dakota sat a little off in the back.  We were thinking it was becasue we would pull a camping trailor that was pretty heavy.  Maybe the springs are off a little bit.
