How much lift from a trim packer?

I have had my OME lift on for about 2 weeks and have definetaly stretched her legs. The front and rear have both settled a little and now the front sits a bit too low for my taste. (cat in heat look).

I didn't install the trim packers and I am thinking of putting them in. How much will I get from a single 5mm trim packer? I can't imagine it gives much lift.

I think I will need about 1" to level it out. If the trim packers don't work I think I will use one of Andy's spacers.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Go with spacers.

it's roughly a 130% increase of the thickness of the spacer.

5mm = ~0.20" so a 5mm trim packer would yeild about ~0.26" of lift

a single 3/8" thick spacer yeilds 1/2" and two 3/8" thick spacers yeild 1" ...

Thanks guys,
I will take some measurements tonight and see how much of a difference I need to make it level.
