Ground Clearance Gained From Level Kit?

[bowhunter8]

Is it a 1 to 1 ratio? Meaning a 2” level spacer will net you 2” additional inches of ground clearance assuming same size tire before and after the level?

Yes and no.  Rear axle doesn't move up at all.  In the front, if the kit just moves the front wheels relative to the frame, then you do get an equal amount of extra clearance in the middle of the truck as you raise it,

Ground clearance to running gear (axle/diff/a-arms) is set by your wheels and tires. Clearance to everything attached only to the body/frame is set by your lift, and is 1:1 effect.

I'll add that bottom mount spacer is not 1:1 afaik. It works in an angle so there is a ratio, but not sure what.

I didn't go that route, since in effect it pulls the shock shaft out of the tube and reduces down travel and may cause the shock to bottom out internally.

So a 1.8 bilstein lift will net me an additional 1.8” of ground cleaner in the front correct?
