How much lift will I gain with 1" coil spacers in the front?

[DavidN]

Thinking of adding Daystar KC09102BK coil spring spacers in the front of my 2013 1500 2wd.
The Daystar 1.5" spacers will lift the front about 2.5" - so I read somewhere here.
But what will I gain using the 1" spacers?
Any first hand experience here?

Thanks in advance!

One inch

Thanks for the answer!
That might be correct for a coil spacer on the rear axle, but I think it's different on the front.
Found attached diagram in another forum thus my question.

I dont believe in spacers..

But Im pretty sure that when you buy a 1" spacer, that the spacer doesn't actually measure 1".. but rather gives you 1" of lift.

Just from my memory, which is usually fogged by alcohol.

Spacers are never a 1:1 ratio of IFS. I know on my old Chevy the ratio was 2:1 roughly. So a 2" level was actually a 1" thick spacer. Obviously these trucks will be different because the geometry is different.

It will be one inch. Once you install the spacer you need to let the front end settle to get an accurate measurement.

Thanks guys!
About one Inch of a lift is exactly what I'm looking for.
I like a bit of a rake and have no intentions of getting bigger wheels.

I used the Daystar 1.5" spacer, and it lifted 2.5", so expect at least 1", maybe more
