Daystar 1" Coil Spacers = 2" Lift

[lucky]

After getting the Leaf spring TSB 3 weeks ago, I decided I wanted the truck to be level again.
I read a number of threads about the actual lift a 1" spacer would provide, I had resigned to the fact it would only be 1".
I purchased the Daystar 1" kit from 4WheelParts in San Antonio - $44.

After about 3 hours of an install, I am pleased to announce the lift is 2". See before and after pics.

By the way - AutoZone offers a free tool loan program. Your deposit is the cost of the tool. Bring back tools, get all your money back. I picked up a spring compressor and ball joint tool, I already had everyhting else.

Any spacer you put on the front will always be 1/2 the lift amount.
1" spacer = 2" lift
1/2" spacer = 1"

That's because the shock/coilover assembly is mounted in the middle of the A-arm (fulcrum - hard to explain).

Coils don't settle.
