Blue, I just did a 2.5 inch level on my 09 scab. The actual thickness of the spacer is 1.5 inch..... But got my desired lift...(measured before i ordered) perfectly level! It's all on how the spacer sits on top if the strut I believe. It works out to give you more than the thickness. I was a bit worried when I measured my spacers... But I got the 2.5 I wanted! Hope this helps, good luck man!

 

1" Daystar lift:

 

That looks pretty level..

What size tires?

 

Looks a bit high in the front.

 

A 1.5" leveling kit will lift it 1.5".

It just may not be that exact thickness due to geometry angles. Your wheels are further out in the arc of your suspension travel therefore any adjustment closer to the origin of the arc will have a larger effect on everything else further out.

 

Tires are 275/70-18 (33.2"). It settled a bit so there's a slight rake now which I wanted. I still have AAL's that I haven't installed and those are supposed to raise the rear .75" to 1.5".

 

I get the geometry of how the 1" think spacer lifts more than 1" and so on.... I just dont understand why some say a lift that is supposed to be 1.5" doesnt lift 1.5". Some say a 1.5" kit will lift between 1.75 and 2" and other say it will be less than 1.5" of lift.

Maybe people misunderstood my question... I bought a kit that is supposed to lift the front 1.5". Yes the spacer is some thinner than that... I understand that part. I just wanted to be sure a kit that is supposed to lift 1.5 actually does. There seem to be mixed answers.
