Ok new to coil spacers so if 2 inch spacer gives 3 in of lift how much will 1.5 give. Maybe a stupid question. Like I said new to any kind if level or level topics. I'm getting the 1.5 inch daystar coil spacer and just wanting to know. Thanks.

jmburton.... the spacer itself is only a 2" spacer...by the time its installed it puts the lower control arm at a different angle and that lifts it up the extra inch. i didnt konw that when i ordered the kit. when the kit came in i measured the spacer and it was 2" and i called the company i ordered it from and they told me the same thing about not being able to fit a 3" spacer in there. they explained to me how a 2" spacer will actually lift it 3". didnt know that but it worked out. the only complaint i had with the company was that the kit was supposed to work with OEM shocks and it doesnt. so i ordered some ProComp es9000 today and ill pick them up tomorrow. and that will take care of my issue.

Got the1.5" kit, contemplating whether having my pops do it or taking it somewhere. Also if that alignment is necessary, thoughts and insights greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's pretty simple to do yourself. I did my front and rear in about 8 hrs. Which is probably a long time but I also got the satisfaction of doing it myself. And yes the alignment is necessary. Mine was a great deal off. But my leveling kit was a lot higher than yours too. But I'd still recommend it. Post pics after you get it installed.

I'm knocking it out Saturday with my Dad. Hopefully things go well and I don't get screwed with an alignment price. I'll show y'all when its done! Appreciate the help
