Rear spacer drawing/measurements

You guys are the best!!

Thats why I like the forums!!

Just a heads up,i've never lifted a 4th Gen,but if you lower them,the passenger side almost always sits higher after lowering,usually a 1/4" or more difference between sides. Not sure it that might be the same if you lift one,but you might want to pay attention to how the truck sits afterwards and if it has an unacceptable lean,you might need to shim the low side slightly to match the high side if it does end up with a lean.

If you’re planning to make your own spacers, pulling the spring and measuring the top and the pocket is your best bet. That’s what I’d do—just to be sure everything lines up right. I’ve even used ruler.onl a couple of times for quick checks when I didn’t have my tape measure handy.
Also, keep in mind these parts take a beating. Even if you’re solid with machining, it’s worth double-checking your measurements and the materials you’re using. I’ve seen some pre-made ones that save a lot of time and effort, especially if they’re tested to handle the load.

He’s probably finished with that project, as this thread is 5 years old.
