    Okay I ordered OME 881 and 5100's. Do I need to order a 1/4 spacer for the driver side with the new stuff up front?

    Does this apply to a 95.5 as well? I was told these really do not exhibit the lean when lifted

    I have 5100s with 881s and my kit came with a 1/4" spacer for the driver's side. I didn't really notice any lean before putting the kit on but I had the 1/4" spacer put on just in case it decided to start leaning later on down the road. The 'Taco lean' happens over time from the extra weight on the driver's side (battery, driver, gas tank)
