I am about to get some rear lift coil spacers for my Tahoe. I have a few question on them.

First off I currently have 1.5" lower strut lift spacer on the Tahoe right now but will be putting a 2" one shortly. It currently sits .5" higher in the rear with the 1.5" kit installed.

Ok the questions are;

1. Do you get the stated lift from the spacer or do you get a little more? I want around .75 to 1" of lift.

2. Can you mount the spacer on the top of the spring instead of the bottom? I want to kind of hide the spacer.

3. What material is better? metal(billet aluminum), polyurethane plastic (daystar .75" spacer), or Delrin plastic?

I am leaning toward the Daystar .75" kit but I heard bad things from them braking down over time. And I was looking at 1" kit made out of the other materials. I just don't want too much rear lift and have it sit like it was in stock form.

1. I got 1" out of my 1" spacer
2. Im not sure if it will go on the top because it is designed to go underneath. I didnt do my rear myself so i didnt see the top of the sping but I think the top of the spring is a little different from the bottom so it will not fit.
3. Billet alluminium is the best IMO. It is very strong and very light weight. If you dont want the billet to be noticable, paint it black before you put it on, but you cant really see it anyway.
All of this is based off of my CCM 2 1/2" - 1" leveling kit, hope this helps!
