    Work in progress, but mods so far; OTT 7.0 tune, 255/85/16 Falken WildPeak M/Ts
    1/2" top plate spacers give 1" of lift.

    Yes, more like close to 3/4" on mine - 1/2" plus the extra spring compression.

    I was thinking about adding the top plate spacer on mine spring when replace the UCA. I have the Eibach spring with the billies at .85 and TSB add aleaf and it left me with a prettiy good rake in the front.

    Yes

    Edit: I just measured again:

    Before:
    LF - 20 1/4" RF - 20 1/4"
    LR - 21 1/4" RR - 21 1/4"

    After:
    LF - 24 1/4" RF - 24 1/4"
    LR - 24" RR - 24 1/4"

    4" lift on the front and maybe 3" on the rear. So, gimme a break, it was a long day...

    I guess the coils alone would have given me a 3" lift. I thought about 2 1/2" and I was going for 3" - 3 1/2" but I like it so far...

    Coils are 885s

    Pretty sure the top plate spacer kit that Toytec sells is 10mm or roughly 3/8" and provides the 3/4" lift you suggested
