Levelling my 97

[yella]

So I got a set of 1.5" daystar coil spacers given to me by a friend. Originally I had no plans on lifting my T4R. However, next weekend I am replacing my rear shocks and springs, and since I have the coil spacers I thought about putting them in.

I plan on doing my front struts and springs as well in the next couple months and had 2 questions.

1) will it look stupid with the coil spacer in the rear, and the front stock, at least for a month or two.

2) when it comes time to do the front, what size spacer would I need to level the truck out.

Shocks and springs will be KYB gas a just and MOOG springs all around.

I did rear the "lift sticky" and googled, but did not find the answer I was looking for.

quick question: Define "Level". some people say its the same wheel well height, while others say its the same rocker panel height (front and back) see pic... wheel well is "A", rocker is "B". (I personally like a level rocker...)

the rear lift might look funny for a month or two but that will give the rear time to settle and thus give you a chance to measure the new rear ride height, providing the new front ride height you would need to achieve via springs, or springs + spacers

I just did the KYB Gas Adjust and the MOOG springs that are the 99 talls all around. i installed them a week and a half ago. I've got an 02 SR5 sport that had a saggy rear end. The new springs and shocks made a huge difference not only in the rear, but also in the front. My fender to ground measurement was right at 36 inch's on all three corners except the rear driver's side. It was 1/8th inch lower. Not noticeable enough for me to mess around with spacers etc. Thant being said, I did have a topped off fuel tank when I measured. the 01 and 02s were the known to be the lowest years for 3rd gens. This setup gave me about a 1 and a half inch lift.

Maybe I will wait on the spacers. Im not out any money on them, and didnt plan on lifting anyway.
Thanks for the responses.

Sorry to slightly derail this thread, but if you want to fix that lean, I have a brand new 10mm poly spacer from Wheeler's off-road that I never used in my own lift install (bought it just in case but didn't need it) made for just this issue. Happy to send it free-of-charge if you could use it.

Spacers are garbage. Lift it right. These trucks are hard enough on front-end components as-is.

Im not willing to put the money into it for a suspension lift. I will never re-coupe that money.

Like I said; I just have the spacers so I figured I would use them. However, after the other poster put on the same set up that I am going with, I am going to wait on the spacer and see how it looks with the new parts.
