Simple question. What is the ratio on spring spacers and actual lift? Is it about 1 to1? 1" spacer gains about 1" lift? I know some suspensions systems are not actually 1:1. I figure our trucks are probably pretty close to a 1:1 but I figured I would ask. Just asking so I can figure out the trim spacers for new springs.
 
Yes, basically 1:1.

The reason other (IFS) suspension systems are no1 1:1 is just simple geometry. A 1" puck placed on top of the strut mounted in the middle of an angled A arm yields more than 1" of movement at the ball joint at the end of that arm.
