And op, if it were me, I’d also just throw a slightly bigger block in the rear instead of having to re do and rebalance the front.
The issue with raising the rear, is that I'm not planning on putting much bigger tires. I have stock 32" for now but will go 33" possibly 34" at some point with the same rims, but not wider...I'd keep the pizza-cutter 10.8" wide. Don't want to destroy mpg/acceleration.

Post 800 on my build thread, but:

I started with 2 and 5/16 thread showing on the driver side. Lowered the collar down to 2 inches even and it dropped almost exactly a 1/2 inch. I’m an idiot and didn’t count turns.

so 5/16 collar = 1/2 inch lift

Thank you.

I'll crawl under and measure more accurately, I think there's less than 2-5/16". Other guy probably changed them. I'll adjust with that "formula". I'll be prepared to adjust a 2nd time same day based on how the 1st time turns out, but really trying to avoid that.

Once the suspension adjustment is complete, I can install the Morimoto Hybrids you bastards made me purchase.
