Default Correcting The lean

Hi everyone,
I've been using for a while the Old Man Emu trim packer as a 3/4" coil spacer on the 4 corners of my JK in order to clear my 33s.
I have a 2007 unlimited and since I purshased it, it been leaning quite a bit to the driver side
I'm installing right now the teraflex BB with shocks, the question is, would keeping the trim packer on the driver side in addition to the BB and removing it from the passenger side correct the lean? and is it ok to stack OME trim packer on the teraflex coil spacer?
Thank u for answering

Never heard of an OME trim packer. ARB gave me some 1/4" spring cushions (sit above the spring to prevent squeeking) with my lift kit but you'd need alot of them stacked up to get 3/4".

OME coil springs are driver and passenger side specific on many if not most of thier lift kits. Mix them up and it will sag to one side.

This is what the trim packers look like i have 2 stacked on each coil. would they fit on the BB spacers?

BB
Packers
Factory isolater
Coil
The axle
Thanks a lot on the input i will definetly do that. you're right they're soft rubber so i'll fit them in between.
