    No worries haha, in fact the 1/4" was not enough for my 884s. The 3/8" with the 885 was enough

    Alright. Crazy what that 1/8 inch does. You think a 1/4 inch would atleast correct it most of the way?

    Oh yeah, it really is... You have to account for the length of the lower control arm from the shock mount. Crazy trigonometry and stuff like that. My 1/4" spacer had my left side 0.5" lower than the right side. It will definitely help, but the 0.5" difference was very noticeable (to me) and drove me crazy. the 3/8" spacer turned that difference to less than 1/4" and is not noticeable at all. If you got a 1/4" spacer, I would highly recommend waiting to install and just getting the Wheeler's 3/8" polyurethane spacer.

    Havent gotten it yet, but do you think since I have an access cab that the lean will be less aggressive since theres less weight than a dcsb?

    I didn't notice much lean before install but I have the OME kit with 886 coils (due to bumper/winch) and I used the trim packer they supplied and I think it's spot on. Had it installed for about a year now and no complaints.

    I have an AC

    I have eibach's 3 inch coils. They are 23 inches center hub to bottom of fender. I will need to swap them out to 886 or 887 when I get winch and bumper. Ride is stiffer than stock. It handle corners and trails like a champ. Oh yeah 5100's set at 0

    I'd say there will be no difference in the lean. This is conjecture since there is no difference in the stock coils aside from left and right to my knowledge

    The only way to know is to not install the lean spacer then measure kick yourself for not installing it then install and be happy. Let us Know how it turns out.

    All season mats, 2nd filter delete, DT header, Jardine cat-back, URD shifter, Bilstein 5100's all around at .85 front with Eibachs + .25 passenger/.5 drivers spacers and 1.5 AAL, 0w20 synthetic, Scanguage II, extra D rings, OEM backup camera+Mirror, bed mat, Extang Solid Fold, Popnlock 5300, Pro Comp 7089's 4.5bs 285/70/17 Revo 2s, De-badged
    this is what I tell everyone. I have had Eibachs for 4-5 years and am glad I got them. The OME coils I think are better but the 5100s and Eibach give you more adjustability if your starting at the .85 and coil. You can add and take away spacers, or even go down to 1.6" if you want. If your anything like me and change your mind 100 times it comes in handy to be able to change the settings. I went .85 and eibachs, then put some spacers on and UCAs, then hated them so I went to just one spacer, now I hate the VSC light and Im going back to no spacers and stock UCAs to get the light back off. All preference but for a cheap lift you cant go wrong anyway
