    IMG_0084.jpg IMG_0085.jpg IMG_0083.jpg So I had 521600 2.5" springs installed on my 5100's set at zero with a 3/8" spacer in the drivers side and a 1/4" spacer on the passenger side to compensate for the lean. I got the truck back and the driver side front is now an inch lower than the passenger side front. I looked it over and everything looks ok.

    Any thoughts?

    If I pulled the driver side 5100 and set it at .85 would that mess up my alignment? Should I even preload the 521600? I do have an extra 3/8" spacer, should I stack that on top of the other 3/8" spacer? The passenger side is dead nuts even with the rear of the truck with the 1.5" aal.

    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps the spacers got mixed up and put on the wrong sides?

    My guess is that the passenger side 5100 shock is not set at zero.

    Spacers were mixed up...The front is within 3/16" now. 521600 are definitely stiffer it not unbearable. Thanks for the info. IMG_0088.jpg
