The solution you seek (BLUF: level LX570 with a 1-2 inch lift with OEM suspension characteristics.) has already been solved wholistically in the form of AHC Long Travel. What you're proposing has limitations. It's not that we're not understanding, rather what you're suggesting is honestly not a great approach. Especially when AHC Long Travel is also addressing down travel, which is as important to the lift itself for it to all work effectively.

I agree. My first post listed a 20mm spacer for that reason. I guess that's why I feel a bit frustrated.
Gotcha. You won't need an in-coil spacer to compensate for more preload, as the top spacer will do that sufficiently. Unless you're building super super heavy on the front end?

I mean, it wouldn't be super super heavy. Full armor, dual battery, 100lb-ish on the roof and a vehicle full of people. I realize the AHC can handle quite a bit, but my guts tells me some assistance wouldn't hurt for general stability while braking and turning. The concept was utilized in the post I shared with good effects. It's really just an option at this point. It may not be required; however, I like to develop out a solution if an issue regarding weight transfer arises.
