    2" Lift
    Does a 1" top coil spacer give 1" of lift or closer to 2"? If more than 1", could you explain why?

    My current spacers look to be 1" but when I measure center hub to fender it is 22". The lift was already on the truck when I bought it but from what I've learned the stock hub to fender measurement is usually 20" which would give me a 2" lift.

    1" is probably something like 1.5-1.75" of lift. As to why, 1" midway along a lever provides more than the same 1" at the end of the lever. I drew you a picture!
