Leveling Question

2005 AC 2WD

So, hopefully this not not a silly question. My truck’s rear is 1.5 inches taller than the front. If I install 2 inch spacers in the front, does that mean the front will literally end up .5 inch taller? Thank you.

 

More like 1.5" taller.

In other words, the thickness of the spacer, is not the same as the height of the lift. Because the spacers are further in, than the tires, they always lift the truck higher than their thickness. The manufacturer should be able to tell you how much actual lift you get, per inch of spacer.

It can be as high as TWICE AS MUCH lift, as the spacer is tall in some vehicles.

The leveling spacers that I removed from my truck, where less than an inch thick. The 2" spacers I put in my subaru, gave me just over 4" in total lift.

 

Pardon, actual spacer thickness is 1.1 inches, but it is supposed to give 2 inch rise. So I’m guessing I’ll end up .5 inch higher up front than rear? Thank you

 

Back up.

I assume the manufacturer gave you that number. Many of the numbers given for lift results - from what I've seen with 1GT specifically - are based on installation in a DC, 4WD, with V8, so roughly the heaviest of the heaviest. Your AC has different geometry/suspension than a DC, and it's 2WD which shaves off quite a bit of weight, and if it's V6, it's even lighter. You may end up getting more lift than you bargained for, more than the manuf'er is indicating. Or you may not.

I also assume you know, spacers *DO* change your suspension geometry. You should get realigned after install.

Yep, would have to get alignment. Thank you.
