    So I've had 885's for a while and left out the lean spacer when I did the install. I'm thinking if ordering a half inch spacer for the driver side and putting the other one on the passenger side to give me a level front end, and add a half inch total. Tell me if this makes sense or if you've done it and how it worked out. I just order LR uca's through the group buy and think this would put me where I want to go for 285's when my 265's wear out. Thanks

    Yes, that would work to level the front and add 1/2" of overall front lift.

    Could I do that to my 884 coils to give me more lift. Instead of preloading my coils by setting them at .85?

    Yes. However if your 5100s have the spring spacer already in the strut on the driver side to counter the lean you would want to do equal top plates on each side. Adding top plates will lower the point of the suspension bottoms out by the amount of the spacer. Bump stops should be adjusted accordingly.
