Looking to Get a Better Lift

I currently have spacers on the front and blocks on the back. I was told it was a 3" lift but I'm suspect it is more like a 2" lift.

DS- front=22.125
rear= 24"

PS- front=22"
rear=23.5"

Here's the 2 problems I am having;

I would like my new lift to be an inch lower than what I currently have and I would like the rake to be an inch smaller. If I don't know what height lift I have now how will I know what height lift to get? If I lower my rake, I'm thinking that will pretty much take care of wanting an inch lower lift. at least in the rear.

I cannot tell that the DS spacer is thicker than the PS spacer for the DS lean issue





If not, then I'm guessing I don't need a spacer for the lean issue?

Thanks

 

Looking at the spacer you have on there now, the next thing down would be stock hight. That spacer looks super small

 

Small or not, it's about 1" or 1.5" but it lift almost double of it's thickness.

Get some decent coilovers or if you don't want to spend so much, buy Bilstein 5100s and set them at 2nd notch.

 

My spacer lift was 2.5" and the spacer was actually 2.48" on a caliper. Daystar said it lifted the front 2.5" and 2.1" to 2.3" after it settled

 

Was the spacer placed on TOP of the coil assembly or IN the assembly?

You're talking about a different kind of spacer.

 

On top

 

I can post pics when im home again.

 

Your measurements aren't accurate. There is no way they could be. Physics says so. I also don't understand the "settling" part. I've never heard of a spacer kit needing to settle and losing lift.

 

Something is wrong in these measurements. 2.5" top plate spacer which lifts only 2.1-2.3" after "settling".

The strut mounting points compared to lower A-arm position/mounting points causes that the strut length changes the wheel hub height more than the difference in the strut height. The more the lift the bigger the difference, 1" spacer makes bigger difference to the height amount with 2" lift springs than with stock springs, because of the A-arm angle.

 

That is what daystar told me just passing on what they informed me of
