I took the two bottom spacers and moved them to the top. Clamped everything well so the springs dont slip, makes getting the bolts more difficult to get back in if your springs shift. Torqued every thing back down 60,000 miles ago 70 now, runs smooth and I can get my butt on the tailgate now. I don't think the drive line angle is any worse than throwing in a good load.

Are the spacers two actual separate pieces or are they welded together. I was thinking of adding just one to mine making it 3 back there, my truck sits a little low with a leveling kit.

Spacers are technically separate however, most of them are rusted together so well they'll never come apart. If you were looking to add something back there, a simple piece of bar stock with bolt holes would work just fine.
