    So I just put OME suspension kit on my 2017 tacoma and with the Dakar leaf springs there’s a big rake from the front to back. I’ve talked to the place that installed the kit and they recommended I put a 1” top spacer on the front strut.
    First question is how much lift would a 1” or a 1.5” spacer give me?

    Second question, how hard would it be to remove some leafs from the leaf springs in order to compensate for the lift?

    1", will give it 2" of lift. What's your rake as it sit's now? Also to answer your second question. It's not real hard to remove a leaf, time consuming. Google it, there is YouTube video's of it.

    How much lift you get from the pack?

    Pretty hard to get an accurate measurement, but the back sits at 39” from the ground to the fender. And the front sits at 35” from the ground to the fender.

    Dr. Brown, the coils and shocks give me a 2” lift, but the Dakar leaf springs give an additional 2.5”
