    I'm planning on putting my 5100's and 885x coils on this weekend. I got a 1/4 in top plate spacer to help with the taco lean. Should I install that too or wait until things start to settle down the road? it's not a big deal to pull the driver side coil over and install the spacer later.
    I plan on an alignment few days after the install. And would probably do the same if the spacer was needed down the road.

    How bad is your lean? Mine was almost an inch different. If yours is less maybe you won't mind it, or maybe to the new coils will help correct. You could wait and see, it's easy to do during or after the lift. Your call.

    I don't really even see a lean on mine but it's only got 25k miles on it too. I assume with the new coils and shocks it will take some time to develop a lean and figured I'd deal with it then of it happens.
    Aside from the ease of having everything apart now for install is there any downside to waiting?

    No, a lot of people get the taco lean right away. Mine was like it from the factory.
