No. I needed an inch as well. I added a 1/2 inch spacer which added a total of 1 1/8 with me in it which is what I wanted. I wanted it to sit level or as close to it when I am driving. The maker of the spacer I got from summit says you get 2.5-3 times the spacer size in actual lift. I would say they were pretty close. But on the very lowest end of their range of course..

I imagine a different gen truck with different distances between the pivot point, spring location, and wheel could yield a different amount of lift. But this is what I saw on mine.
