Whats up all,

I have a problem and wondering of a solution to my problem. I have a 08 Tahoe LT with a 3/5 drop. I am aware of the chevy lean as I have done a bit of research on it.

My problem is that I now have 2 spacers on the driver side, one .5 inch spacer on the Belltech adjustable strut and another .5 inch spacer from Belltech as well in the strut assembly mount. My car is still leaning about 1/4-1/2 inch on the driver side with 1 inch in spacers.

What are some possible solutions other than adding another spacer? IF none then I'll just add another spacer.

Thanks

The bracket is not cut off yet and is in the process of being cut off in the next week or so and the rear shocks are Toxic shocks that will be upgraded to Belltech street performance shocks soon

The back is off by about a 1/2 inch or so

What can I do about the back? I believe belltech sells a rear spacer as well but those are 1 inch spacers right?
