Why would his frame be tweaked a little bit if the spacer is causing it to be 1" higher on the passenger side?

Its either gonna be easy if its not to rusted or a total bitch if it is. If its not rusted you just have to take a realy long extension withthe right size socket on the end (I dont know what size mine was completly rotten). Stick that down between the battery and radiator get a socket for the bottom and turn. Take the extra block out and bolt it back together. If your not lucky its gonna be all rusted together. I had to take off my whole front clip and go at it with a torch. Get a new proper spacer and bolt and put it back together.
