There are a lot of opinions out there on the number of turns to open the valves, 3 is often quoted as the maximum. I wonder if 3 turns is both the minimum and maximum for the fluid to flow freely when servicing...

I've tried this a few times, there isn't much you can do. I would recommend upgrading the spring on the pass side per the TSB or adding a 0.25-5" spacer above the spring on passenger side. Seems that is really going to be the only solution. With a lift it's a fine art it appears to level all 4 corners; keep in mind you probably want to do your nominal leveling with a full tank of gas and then re-measure with full payload evenly distributed. My '13 leans about 0.5-1" with stock air ride on 32" tires.

My ‘13 leans on a Dobinson’s MRR lift and 275/75r18 MT’s but it only seems to bother me when looking at the rig from the back. So I just back it in the driveway……problem solved. 😎
 
Just brought home a 2014 GX with only 58k and I noticed the lean this evening. Going to try all the fixes noted in this thread. Thank you to everyone who has compiled all this information here.

Congrats on your GX! :cheers:
Hope you can get it fixed easily!
 
Are these the bolts I need to loosen? I know on a 200 series, they're 5mm allen bolts, but I don't see anything like that here.

I loosened those bolts 2.5 turns, backed up onto a 5" block, retightened...but the lean is still there. Driver side is 1.5" higher than passenger
 
Mine leans such that the driver's side is lower. It's a 2023, and I have no explanation for it's unicorn status. The delta is about 5/8". This is static. I have no idea what it is while driving.

1.5" is a lot. Mine was 0.5 - 1.0 and the only way I was able to resolve it was to add a spacer to the strut on the passenger front. Now all 4 corners are level.
