    I added 1/4” spacers to level my truck. The passenger side is level but the driver side is 1/2” lower. How do you fix this or where can I buy one 1/4” spacer to add or one 1/2” spacer to replace? Yes,I can buy another set but doesnt someone have a leftover spacer from doing the same thing.

    You can buy single spacers most anywhere you can buy a pair...

    Try wheelers offroad or headstrong offroad

    Level front to back? Or side to side? Or both? And you may never get it perfect.

    Yes
    The radiator core wall bushings are notorious for collapsing on the drivers side due to the weight of the battery and that can cause the left front fender to sag. Take a look at those bushings before you dive into suspension adjustments.

    Yes, headstrong wants as much for one as I paid for the pair I bought. Om leveling front to back and need to fix the lean.

    Out of curiosity if your truck lifted at all? When I first installed my lift the lean was very very pronounced even with a spacer... after it settled out front and back I lower the front coilovers slightly. Makes for a smoother ride and the truck is very close to even. about 1/4" or so.

    My truck is stock. It is about a 1/2” or so lower on the driver side front. I guess I will have to buy another set of spacers and use only one. I was hoping there was some way to get a little lift on the driver side. Thanks all.

    So the drivers front is a 1/2” lower than the drivers rear or passenger front?

    Both, the back and passenger front are all the same.
