Looking for 3/4" thick front suspension spacers

[PAULUNM]

All,

Looking for a bit less than a 1" thick spacer, but all I can find is two spacers from Toytec that add up to 3/4" thick.

Any other ideas? I'm going to do FJC springs all around, and I'd like to end up with an additional 1.5" of lift instead of 2" from a 1" thick spacer.

So you want a net lift of 1.5" from the spacer... Correct? It's easy and cheap to get a spacer that will provide 1.25" (plus approx .75 for FJC will yield approx 2") of lift. A Daystar from Wheelers Offroad or other supplier would do it. You can choose preload or top spacer. Given you have stiffer springs going in 'top-spacer' might be the right answer.

Cornfed will do any size you want and you could specify top or preload spacer but you'll pay $$$. The other thing they could do, given you're into custom sizes, would be to give you a 1.6"(net lift) for the left and a 1.3"(net lift) for the right if your vehicle has a lean; most do. On the other hand most don't worry about it, it's up to you.

I know this has kind of been discussed before, but can someone clarify to me exactly how a 1" spacer is going to yield me a supposed 2" of lift? My logic reasons that a 1"=1", or have I've got something wrong?

It's like magic. You get double the lift as the thickness of the spacer. Trust me, it always works out like that. It has something to do with the suspension geometry.

There's a guy on the forum that sells spacer lifts in 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" thicknesses. You can probably find his thread if you do a search. I think he was selling them for $100/pair.

:iagree: but don't forget when thinking about spacers for the rear suspension it's pure 1 to 1. The 2 to 1 thing only applies to the front.
