    I have a 6" lift, and have the lean going on here. I'd like to do 1/2" CB shim on the right side to correct this. Any drawbacks to this?

    The draw back will be that you no longer have the lean! :)

    In all seriousness, just cycle your suspension and make sure with the shim and your current lift that you don't need bump stop extensions

    Wait, it’s leaning towards the left but you want to add height to the right side?

    I want to do 1/2" on the right side, and 1" on the left. The left currently sits 1/2" lower. I should've specified... The 1/2" on the right side would put me a total of 1" higher than the left side, then a 1" on the left side to bring it all up and level. My question was, I already have a 6" lift, I didnt know about going the extra inch, and the negative effects on my CV angles.
