I am looking at installing a leveling kit on our 19 Yukon because it has too much rack. Only looking to get 1" or 1.5". Question is; what was the thickness of the lower spacer for the 1.5" kit? I have a spacer that is .625 thick that I bought years ago for one of my trucks and I was wondering what height it will give me. Can someone measure theirs please.

From a ride quality perspective, I’d highly suggest Bilstein 5100’s over a spacer setup.
You can achieve the lift you’re looking for with them as well.

I don't want to go that extreme. I talked my wife to allow me to install a small leveling kit, if she doesn't like it and I have to remove it, I am not out too much money. I drive lifted trucks so I know bilsteins and fox shocks are the way to go but not for her Yukon.

the amount if lift in relation to thickness of spacer is roughly half.

a 3/4" spacer at the arm, nets 1.5 at the tire center.

Thanks

So my .625 spacer should be 1" lift.

I think I want 1.5" so I need to order that kit now.
