1" front lift

travis73 · January 27, 2012

Hi all,I have been looking everywhere for a 1" lift kit for the front of my truck,I don't want the 2" as I want to maintain some rake for towing my camper and I like the entry height now and don't want to have to put steps on my truck to get in.Has anyone run across a 1' front suspension lift anywhere and if so where? thanks in advance.

Nope. Haven't seen any. I like some rake too. Especially if towing. That's why I had to add the rear blocks to my front 2" spacer. You could get the bilstein coilovers and then you can have some adjustability.

Thanks,I diden't know you could do that,I just installed new bilsteins on the rear,so now I think I will order the coilovers for the front and set them so I have 1" more in the front.The rear shocks I installed ride much better than the factory shocks,I had one start thumping at 12000km.

Yeah check them out. Might not be called coilovers, but the are adjustable. I think the part# is Part Number: 24-186940.

I checked them out,seems they are a better option than a spacer and reasonably priced too,definatly the route I will take,thanks for the advice.Travis

I too would like to lift the front of my 09 extended cab only about 1-1/4". I've been thinking of machining down a Rough Country 2" Plastic spacer to end up 1-1/4" higher in front.

I have an old style rough country leveling kit on mine. Instead of the current plastic piece it came with 3 steel spacers per side. I could lift it either 0.5", 1", 1.5", or 2". Too bad they changed the design. I found mine on ebay last winter for $30 new.
