    You keep typing 1" spacer. Is it really 1"? That will net 2" of lift. Or is it a 1/2" spacer - 1" of lift? Either way, you will need longer studs on the top plate.

    Tacos lean that's what they do. Driver side is always lower. If you go with the 1 inch spacers (2 in inches of lift) it will still lean.
    When I first lifted my Truck I used 5100's on second notch .85 plus a 1/2 inch spacer on the driver side and a 1/4 spacer on the passenger side .The truck sat level with that set up .
    If you go any bigger than 1/4 spacer you will need longer top plate bolts. If you use the spacers that someone listed earlier in the thread then you will be ok with the original top plate bolts.

    My bad, I typed 1 inch coils when I meant to type 1 inch coil spacer. the spacers give 1 inch of lift and come with the bolts needed. at least that is what the description says
