    Hey all,

    So I've perused suspension and 2nd gen forums quite a bit, wanted to do a suspension upgrade but not break the bank and landed on fox 2.0 coilovers in the front, and 2.0 rear resi's (0-1.5 lift model) for the rear. As my truck currently sits (post fox install) it's measurements are: 37 in right front, 37 in right rear, 36 3/8in left front, and 36 1/2 left rear.

    Next up is a custom Alcan leaf spring pack I am having installed to bump the back up another 1 to 1.5 inches (knowing settling will occur, probably thinking it'll go down a bit and I know Alcan springs are made right/left specific in an attempt to counter the left side weight).

    Here's the question, for the front LEFT, i'm assuming i'm still going to have a lean but I don't want to mess up anything suspension wise that's going to cost me a pretty penny to fix down the road. I've seen some posts saying put a 1/4 spacer (not to keen on that), other posts saying to crank the coilver up more on the left. Just looking for some additional guidance so I don't have any nasty surpises down the road, the whole purpose of the build is for light to moderate off-road.

    crank the coilover up. thats the proper way to fix the lean in your situation. You only need to crank the left coilover up 1/4in.

    Thanks for your response. Any negative issues with cranking the coilver up higher on one side long term? I just realized too, I meant to say not keen on the spacer. Editing main post now.

    Nope that’s what I did on my icons. They’re adjustable for that reason. Good luck.
