    Super easy, they sit on top of the strut so it doesn't have to be torn apart.

    Enough threads left? I thought I read the studs had to be pressed out. I’d do this if it was really that easy.

    How much did you have to disassemble?

    I just went thru this Dilemma.

    The truck comes stock with 1.5 inches of rake

    I did not want to tear apart the strut. the 1" spacer kit makes you replace the bolts and i was not going to do that

    This left me with 2 options. A 1/4 inch spacer up front or a 3/4 inch spacer up front and a 1" rear block

    I took a Jack to lift up the front 1/2 an inch and was like "NAH"

    I went with option 2. I did have to cut down the threads with a cutoff wheel to the front studs but zero issues so far.

    When the struts/shocks wear out I will put a 2" lift out front and a 1.5" ALL in the rear

    Recently took a road trip with the back seat filled with stuff and the bed also. No bro lean. If i had put a 2" spacer up front i would have had lean

    Not there. You sure it wasn’t a 3/4” thick spacer that gave you 1.5” of lift?

    If so your math is moved around and your preliminary test with a 1/2” of lift was backwards. The 1/2” spacers give 1” of lift...

    is this what you used? I'm looking to raise the front of my truck just a little to closer match the rear......but I don't want to add anything to the rear for fear of causing any vibrations!

    Get a 1/2 top mount spacer, it will give you about 1'' of lift, and it will bring you close to level front and rear.. I personally did this, but then added 1 inch to rear too to restore factory rake. looks great. no issues to report.

    I have the 1" spacer on mine, looks a bit nose high but is actually dead nuts level when measured.
