Installed the 2 inch MotoFab top hat spacers today. Measurements before were 36 1/4” and now at 38”. Back is sitting at 38 3/4”. Install wasn’t too bad. I had trouble getting the upper ball joint loose. I ended up using a small 2 ton gear puller that worked great. I have a set of the Icon 1.5” rear springs and hope to install them this week. I’ll post pics after that install.

How's the ride compared to stock with the motofab spacers?

I did notice the ride was a little stiffer compared to stock. It’s hard to tell now that I’ve installed the icon rear springs. The icons really help control the squat when towing, which is what sent me down the lift road vs air bags, but the icons do have a rougher ride. IMO, I think my truck rides like a 3/4 ton now. It’s not that bad, but still thinking about going the full strut replacement before I replace my tires and get an alignment.
