The coil seat is one inch..........leaving 2 inches and that means at least 4 inches of lift, I have that picture also some where of the coil seat measurement, these were WAY too big

BULL, were these made by Daystar? Do you still have the part number? I'm just wondering if they accidentally sent you the wrong spacers.

As for mine, I still have not seen any problems from them as of yet. I'll keep everyone updated.

Yes, and they usually have a molded in part number on the bottom, these didnt, probably some they just had laying around, any way I sold them to a person that knew exactly what he was buying, and he loves them.

Any spacer that raises the vehicle that much could require a new shock, depending on your spring rate. I went into this knowing that I might have to purchase new shocks, and they are super easy to install. Three bolts and they pop right out and right back in. Also, they are not quite $100 more. Here, they are sold for $125 with free shipping. That's $85 more than the 1.5" spacers, and still cheaper than most of the other kits I've found.

The company I bought all my stuff from has those cheaper..........????
and even though it shows for a 2500-3500, it fits ours, the other stores sell it like that also, it fits 1500 ,2500,3500, 94-08 and of course ours

I think I came across that site in my search, but I didn't purchase because of the description. It's probably ok, as you said, but I just worried that they could argue that their website didn't say it would fit my truck, if I happened to have a problem with it. Plus, I have an Amazon Prime subscription so I get everything overnighted for $3.99. I'm spoiled on that.
