    Just about have all my parts in, so before I get to the install I figured I’d ask. Is the 1/4” lean spacer need for the drivers side with this kit?

    I installed mine with the spacer and it has no lean. There is no way to compensate for lean with this kit without the spacer so if a tiny lean is going to bother you I would suggest installing one the first time.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    That actually depends, some full leaf spring packs are sides specific with the driver side having ever so slightly more arched to them. Such as the case with OME. With their leaves, you do not need a spacer. But if you don't have their leaves, then yes install the spacer

    I just installed a set today. They are back in stock but who knows for how long. We have been drop shipping straight from Eibach seems like they can barely keep up.

    Can anybody chime in about the Diff drop and CB Drop? I bought the diff drop but a good number of folks say it's not needed, but now the CB drop is being brought up as well. Does anybody have a solid concrete answers? TIA

    You don't need the carrier bearing drop if you are only lifted about 1 1/2" in the rear. Just put a 3* shim under the leafs and you should be good. This is how I've been running mine with the add-a-leaf and have had no vibration from the driveshaft.

    Yeah I had never heard about the CB drop until I came across this thread. I bought the diff drop, most say I don't need it but won't hurt to have it on either so I figured $30 might as well. Are you running a diff drop?

    I believe you and I discussed this a few times before. Here is a response from Headstrong they gave to another member when I was researching my lift:

    I did the lift, add a leaf, needle bearing and 3 degree shims. Second notch and nothing else. I would worry more about adding too much stuff.

    I did an 1.5” rear block and it has been problem free. No noise, ride is great, cheaper, and easier to install. Kind of a no-brainer if you don’t need the increased rear spring rate. There is a lot of misinformed negative bias on here towards small blocks in the rear.
