I tried all of these fixes.

Putting a spacer or loading the front unevenly makes for weird driving. Adding a 1.5" spacer works great except the rear wheels now move a different rates over bumps and the axle slants if you jack up the truck.

In my opinion, the real fix is to install the OME899 extra heavy duty springs in the back and be done with it. That is what is installed now on my rig. I actually like how the rear doesn't sag when you load the truck and now the suspension is firm and the truck articulates normally when on the rocks. The spacer made the truck tilt differently from one side to the other and didn't feel quite safe.

I got my spacer from a forum member, but cornfed will sell single 1” spacers for $60ish. It’s well worth it to get rid of the lean!

funny thing - i have the 3" OME lift with medium springs, and my truck has always leaned low on the passenger side - NOT the drivers side!
on install I had them put the spacer in the front left, it made it worse! now that i've got some miles on, it's really noticeable, and when i put a load in the back or the moto carrier on the hitch the rear right definitely sags the most.

i have a 10mm urethane spacer, im thinking of putting that in the right/passenger rear. but i'm also beginning to wonder if i should be looking at adjustable lift kits.

It sounds like you just have defective springs or something is broken. There is no possible way that the truck could lean to the opposite side from all the weight. Both the gas tank and the driver are on the same side, that is the source of the lean. The passenger side has no extra weight at all...so how is it possible that you have "lean" on the weightless side?

What's more strange, the gen5 usually dont have as much a problem like ours.
I have so much spacers on mine, it should be illegal.
