Wanting to put a lift on my 200. Have successfully installed a couple of suspensions on other vehicles before(4Runner, BMW).
One thing I always read about is a 50/50 chance of an inherent lean(not KDSS lean) after install is complete and that a spacer is required to correct it.
Is this true and how do I know if I need a spacer and how do folks normally go about this? Do you just have to get everything put together and see how it sits, then take it all apart again to install the spacer? Seems barbaric.
And why doesn't every kit come with spacers if that's needed? Been researching this for months but haven't really found a conclusive answer from the DIY side of things. Thanks
EDIT: I guess it's the trim packer I'm referring to?
