I have the Belltech springs with the 1 inch spacer on my 08 Avy and I was wondering if they sell a .5 spacer to lower it a little more since it is a little too low without somekind of spacer.

What Ean said, just cut the bottom of the spacer

May have to try that after all the settling.

I just put the rear belltech with spacers in on friday, and it measures a half inch higher in the rear. I'm gonna do the same, let it settle for a few weeks and then if no change, ill take the spacer out and cut that half inch off.

Yea thats pretty much my same issue however I have a little more lean on the drivers side than the passenger side so I will probably take care of that too. If you do yours before mine keep me posted on how it goes if you don't mind and vise versa.

How do you plan on leveling the truck side-to-side? It's my understanding that most (all?) GM trucks have @ 1/2" height difference from one side to another. Is it advised to try to make up that difference with different height spacers (assuming that's what you have in mind)?

What about swaping out the stock panhard bar for an adjustable? Won't it help staighten the truck up and help shift the the weight towards the passenger side, maybe level it out a little?

Thats good to know Tony....you must have been reading my mind. I can always cut one a little more to get the lean out especially now I have those helpers to install. BTW it rides really awesome right now.

Yea I am thinking about doing some experimenting with the spacers to see what I can get and how it looks. Its not to noticable but I know its there if you know what I mean.

I hear you. I'm just wondering, since they seem to come from the factory with lean, if it's wise to level it via different sized spacers. I'm not saying it's NOT wise -- I'm saying that I don't know if it is.
