SJP12 Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 I just got mine in the mail today, and these hockey puck spacers are 1" thick/tall, how will they add 2" of lift to my truck?
cbsaf Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 I just got mine in the mail today, and these hockey puck spacers are 1" thick/tall, how will they add 2" of lift to my truck? Geometry. Look at a door. If you open the door 6 inches at the center the doorknob side moves almost a foot. The hinge area barely moves at all. The control arms barely move near the frame. They space down 1 inch at the strut. They are 2 inches lower at the spindle.

Yeah, what they said. .5" spacer = 1" of lift.....1" spacer = 2" of lift...and so on.
2000DV4.8 Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 Yup, it's about a 2:1 ratio, since the spacer is halfway between the fulcrum, and the end of the control arm.
