    Small spacers(.5") = 1" of lift. I don't think youll have an issue. But you may want to add a spacer to the bump stop as well.

    Why would you install a shitty spacer on top of Kings? Do the right thing and get a spring that's correct for what you're trying to achieve.

    You should probably get in touch with King after you find out what model coilovers you have. They should be height adjustable. Also, they can advise you which springs are compatible with what you have now to achieve whatever it is that you desire. You haven't given us a whole lot of info other than King 2.5" extended travel. Originally you said you wanted to raise 1". Hard to advise.
