If you put a spacer on top of the spring that would have raised the truck? so you raised the driver's side to match the passenger?

I guess its the same thing, Im just lowering the passenger to match the driver instead. Im going to lowes for some large washers later to accomplish this as the 1" lowering block I bought yesterday wasn't long enough to go across both legs of the u bolt.
