My quandary is I run 3 inch kap springs + 1.5 inch spring spacers. I did think about dropping to 1 inch spacers and going to a 2 inch spacers on the drivers side but I don't want to spend loads of cash on different spacers! So I thought about running a extra spacers in the drivers side 15mm wouldn't completely fix the lean but would help or a 25 mm spacers which should sort it although I'm a it concerned about running a 1.5 inch and 25 mm together has anyone tried this before with any success?
Have you tried swapping the front springs? Or are they exactly the same length ?
And, if you are using spacers, why not loose the spacer in the tallest side.

Buy a set of offroad armoury spring as thay have the drivers side made longer to compensate for the lean if you get the 4" lift you can take your spacers out

Who told you that?
I bought ORA springs only earlier this year because I wasn't sure what shocks I wanted and could afford. I ended up buying Rough Country N2.0 from ORA though

just fit a spacer on the opposite end of the spring so you have one top and one bottom
bits4vits sell a single spacer in either orange or black
