    I'm installing Bilstein 5100s and OME 884 coils. I also bought a 1/4" spacer, but I'm not sure I need it. I measured the distance from center of hub to fender on the stock suspension, and it was almost the same on both sides. The driver's side was 1/8" higher.

    Should I install the spacer on the driver's side with the bilsteins or do I not need it?
