I have heard so many stories why there is lean like the gas tank & driver weight. I do know on my 02, the spacers they added from factory for quietness and the lean, deteriorated and made the lean worse.

A friend of mine swapped his leaf springs around when he lowered his and it seemed to help get rid of it. Personally, I think the leafs are more of the issue that the front coils, but the front coils are easier for most folks to tinker with..
I watched a really good video on YouTube on a green '02 Sierra and he swapped the leaf packs & said it did the trick. Are the spacers you mentioned, on the lower arms? I guess I thought those were just insulators...might check & see if I can find a replacement. I'll hafta click a couple of pics of my goofy looking caster issues I'm hoping to iron out during this fix.Thanks for the info!
