Question need some help please!

well today i was suppose to get installed a 1.5 inch spacer in the front and a 1.5 inch AAL in the back. i got the 1.5 inch AAL in the back, but the spacer they didnt install kuz it would cause wear on my tires. now the back sits a little higher. what can i do to level it out? should i order a 1 inch spacer or just take the AAL off? i have a 7.5 inch fabtech and 3 inch PA body lift already. what suggestions do you have? thanks for the help.

and the spacer would cause the tires to tilt inward. would the 1 inch spacer cause it to do that?

You need an alignment after adding a coil spacer. I did, no problem.

Sounds like the install shop you took your truck to doesn't know what the heck they are talking about. There is a ton of members here who have coil spacer lifts.

after adding the AAL the back sits one inch higher then the front, so would the 1 inch coil spring spacer get it back to level?

I agree. Find another shop to install the spacers and align the front end and you should be close to level.

If your math is correct, yes.
