    I'm getting conflicting answers regarding installing this spacer.. Question is can the toytec 1/4 spacer be thrown on top of the spring assembly or do you have to compress the spring, disassemble, and put it underneath the top mount? I'm thinking about correcting this lean but if it requires disassembly Ill probably leave it as is.. Thanks guys..e8e4ehaq_af089644668e35a5b79b020f2077a4b942fc1ab7.jpg

    Just put one in mine couple weeks ago and it goes on top of the top hat. No need to take apart the spring. I still have that lean like yours in the back though. I'm thinking of putting some small spacer under my drivers side leafs.

    Maybe this will help. The image is from another thread on here.

    Damn man I thought by putting the spacer it would fix the rear! How long did it take you to install the spacer

    Hold on..Your worried about the rear? You have the baisc 6" fabtech lift..If your struts we put back on the correct side they came off (springs have slightly different heights which are marked) then your completely fine. The 1/4" is useless in your case

    1/4 spacer fixed my front but my rear still looks like yours. I have dakars in the back. Didn't take long to put it in but I was doing wheel bearing and diff bushing all at once on that side so I had to pull it out anyway.

    I'm changing out my entire suspension within the next couple months so I can fix the front with coilovers but the rear I don't know!

    could that be more of a stereotypical HI rig?

    and technically if you correct the lean in the front side to side the rear should move the same amount.

    You can get an OME trim packer for the rear from Wheelers , it's essentially like a flat axle shim
