How much lift do I actually get?
Between 1" and 1.75" depending on the plates used. 1.75" is the maximum recommended stacked height.
Which thickness should I order?
3/4" is the stock application and needs nothing else. 1" requires the FMI bump stop kit.
Can I stack two 1" plates for 2"?
No. That exceeds the 1.75" maximum and causes spring bind.
Does this change the spring rate?
No. It adds preload and ride height — the spring itself is unchanged. That is what makes it useful for a truck that sits low because it is loaded.
Do I need an adjustable panhard bar with it?
Strongly recommended. Lifting the rear pulls the axle off-center, and the adjustable bar is what brings it back.
