    Would you need a "lean spacer" if you have adjustable coil overs?

    Technically no, but it's kind of a "pick your poison" type of deal. If you choose to adjust the coilover to level your truck then you are going to be preloading your spring on that side which shouldnt be too much of a problem. And on the other hand, if you use the spacer, you are technically now shortening your potential suspension droop. I'm just a normal guy, so I don't know the exact specifics, but that's my understanding.

    Yeah that is what I thought. I think you can also get a stiffer spring?

    I'm not too sure, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to grab a different height spring to solve the problem. Good point.

    Most the springs are sold in pairs would be the only problem, I think. Heck I don't know for sure. I just ordered the 887 springs and a 3/8" spacer that the Wheelers guy suggested.
