    I am putting a set of Bilstein 5100s in the front and rear, and the Icon 1.5 AAL in the back. I run around with roughly 350LBS in the back. I plan on installing the rear, and measuring before deciding what notch to put the fronts on. I am thinking I will just do 1/2-1" in the front. I am thinking that will give me about 1" over factory in the back and 1/2-1" in the front, and give me some of my rake back.

    Do I need to get the 1/4" spacer for the drivers side to prevent lean, or is this such a small lift that I will not have to worry about it?

    You can always find a parking spot that leans the opposite way if it bothers you.

    Taco lean is so minor but it bothers some people. Others not so much. My lift kit came with a spacer so no taco lean for me. If you have the suspension pulled apart might as well add the spacer.

    Ideally you want the same notch both sides, use a 1/4 spacer for balancing after measuring if needed.

    I've done different notches on a 2011 model to balance the lean and it rode fine, but its not ideal.
