Want to lift rear 1"

[BroncoBeachBuggy]

Looking to make sure I have this right. The rear of my non-SAS BD is weighed down with gear (and a heavier/bigger spare 33" tire) so it dips a bit in the rear.

I am looking for a 1" lift in the rear. From what I have read, for the rear shocks you can cut the lift in half on the spacer. So if I want a 1" lift on each rear shock I need a 2" spacer. Is this correct?

If I'm correct, I assume the below is fine (can't afford new shocks/springs)? Thanks!

That’s a good thumbrule - don’t expect it to be exact though.

The rear will lift just a little less than the thickness of the actual spacer. I have a .9" spacer , rated to lift the front 1.5" that would probably lift the rear .75". (I have never installed, went another way)

There's also the question: is it a 2" thick puck, or is it a kit designed to add 2" of lift?

I've been looking for something around .75". Do you have a link?

Mine is the Fabtech 1.5 leveling kit, measures around 7/8". It's available from Amazon for $158. I can't figure out how to send link.

This looks like just a FRONT lift (leveling). Nothing in the rear.

Same case for the Fabtech kit = front only.

@BroncoBeachBuggy like you I want rear lift, about an inch. Without shocks or stiff springs. I haven’t found it yet.
Waiting & watching.

I have these on my 23 OBX SAS.

As others have said, the rear is close to a 1:1 ratio. Don't cheap out, I ripped apart a cheap set of metal spacers.

1” spring perch will get you there.
Fronts are same as the rear (I can only confirm this with squatch shocks)
the ride is fine.

I was having trouble finding just rear spacers. On the leveling kits you can use the upper round spacers on front or rear. Interchangeable.

Like the price. Any pics? I see they are only 4mm each per the install instructions. How many did you stack? Two stacked would be just 1/3". Four stacked would be 5/8".

Edit: Instructions say "limit two per side".

Yes. I only needed a smidge due to leveling out the front with a 1” spacer. I just wanted to post this option for others who may not need 1” but a little help in the rear. I used two per side. Install was easy and used factory hardware.
