    I’ve looked through the forums and didn’t quite get the answer to my question. I’m looking for about a 3/4” lift up front and a 1/2” in the rear. I don’t want to compromise my stock springs by compressing them. I’d like to do a top hat spacer in the front and wondering if I should just do a 1/2 block in the back. I would be interested in a AAL but I’m guessing that would give me more lift than I want. I’m open to 1” upfront and 3/4” in the rear as well. I know low range makes a top hat spacer kit. Any other recommendations or kits that sell the front and back spacer/ blocks?

    You can do spacers for what you want. I believe you get twice the lift of what you put in. So you’d need a 1/2 inch spacer up front for 1 inch and probs just do the same in the rear. Probs smallest you’ll find. Be all you need. Cheap and effective

    ya I think you might be right. 1/2” appears to be the smallest top hat spacer

    Headstrong offers 1/4" spacers that can be used for approx. 1/2" lift.

    Just a note that if you go larger than a 1/4” top plate spacer you will need the extended studs in order to install properly.

    looking at them now just trying to establish if 1/4 would be worth it. I’m guessing I would yield 1/2 lift up front with that. Is there a block that small for the rear?

    Yes, there are half inch rear blocks available (for half inch of rear lift).
