Top out spacer question - (Daystar)

[Falls]

I know the top out spacer doubles in the lift.

(Such as my 1/2" CF spacer gave me 1" of lift)

If I put my 1.125" DS (TOPOUT) spacer in place of the CF will it give me 2.25 of lift ??

Still trying to decide on spacer lift vs OME )which I will have to use a spacer anyway.

I am currently running all FJ suspension , FJ wheels and bigger tires 265/70/17 and plan on staying with that size or possibly going up to a 255/75/17.

Your math is spot on, sir. :cheers:

Typically as the spacer gets larger, the ratio decreases. For a 1/2" spacer, the ratio is 2:1. For larger spacers, it's slightly less. I'd still expect ~2", it seems every vehicle is different.

I originally used the Daystar 1.25" front spacer with FJ suspension to level out/lift my 4runner. The wheel gaps were almost exactly equal, but what I found was that the body lines of the 4runner don't look quite right with equal wheel well gaps. I ended up adding the 1" rear spacer and am much happier with the look. I can load it up and not have a saggy looking car, too.

A little rake always seems to look better on 4runners

Yes I agree that I want a little rake to it . (1") I would add the 1.5 in rear and the the 1.125 in front . If I am to nose high for my liking I will then add the 3/4" preload or should I do all 6pcs at 1 time ?? I just dont know what it would look like with the FJ springs and shocks that are on there which gave me a 1/2 " of lift all around . I would be looking at a 3/2 if I did all of it . That maybe be to high and start stressing angles .

Thoughts ???

3/2 should be fine, anything more and I'd be concerned.
