    Thanks for any help in advance. Currently I have a 3" lift which is comprised of bilstein 5100 shocks, rcd springs and then a .5" top spacer (aal in back). I've noticed the leaning of this guy to the driver side and it's hard to get used to it now. I've searched and found that spacers up front can fix it but I already have spacers and don't necessarily want to pull one out. So anyways, I'll be getting a 6" lift within the next year and would like to correct the lean at that point. In the meantime I'll just live with it. Is keeping one of the spacers possible or is there a better solution? I'll likely be getting a BDS lift and I'm pretty sure that a lot of these companies aren't designing to compensate for the lean.

    Get adjustable coilovers like king or fox in the right length for you new lift. Then you just turn the collar and adjust till your OCD subsides. That is the "right" way to do it, spacers are a cheap fix though.

    How would you level the rear if running Dakars and both are + (I think I read somewhere that some Dakars are shipped with a + and - or something, the + being a little more stout)?

    I used a 1/4" poly spacer on my 5" RCD lift to compensate for the lean. Both sides measure exactly the same.

    Ordered the toytec 1/4" spacer. I'm going to swap out the 1/2" spacer on my passenger side for that and then hope for the best.
