You could cut the coils, or buy the chevy lean spacer from the suspension source. I don't know about the tsb though.

Go to suspension source.com under the leveling spacers category. Its basically a coil spacer for one side to level it out.

I bought a 1inch coil spacer from stylin trucks. Sucks you can't buy just one. It fixed the lean though and I never had a problem with it.

Did installing the spacer in the front also help level the back? Mine leans pretty badly in the front and back

It should, if not you could always get a drop shackle and put it in the 1 inch setting. Clamping the overload got rid of my lean in the rear but not the front.

I have 2" drop shackles right now, I don't think they had a 1" setting, but I could probably drill one. A 2/4 drop is in my very near future and would like to eliminate the lean at the same time. I'm planning on spindles up front, and 2" shackles plus 2" hangers out back. It will probably end up more like a 2/4 on the right side and 1/3 on the left side
