Not really, but it will give you an idea. Measure the spacer, you might find its about an inch, the extra is based on the geometry of the suspension. You may find the nose of your truck will sit a bit lower when done that what it looks like on the jack.

The spacer is 1.25 thick.

So a 1.5" kit doesn't lift 1.5?

My 3" AS spacers were actually 1.75" thick, but lifted the front 3"

I guess my worry is that I do not want more than 1.5" of lift. So I am just wondering what to expect.

Won't know till you put them on. Typically a 1.5" spacer is physically thinner from what I understand. I think the minimum is 1" which ends up giving about 1.5" of lift. I haven't done it yet, but I am also looking for about 1.5" of lift in the front. Seems to me the max tow package is even more *** up then my standard tow package was.

That's my worry also. I think I'm going to get the 1" Daystar spacer. From what I've read, it will actually give about 1.75 to almost 2" and puts the truck damn near level.

Now I am really confused.

Anyone have the 1.5 and know for sure how much lift they got on a screw with 5.0?
