Leveling/Lift issue

[Mark Kay]

New here and need some help. Have been a mechanic for over 30 years and I am baffled. Put a Supreme Suspension Lift/Level kit on my 06 1500. 3" front, 1.5 rear. Alignment was done and I still have a 3" rake. Supreme has no answers for me. How is this possible? I did put new reflex shocks on during install. Nothing is binding up. Anyone have this issue? I don't want to take blocks out of rear end as I want the bit of lift it gives the truck. I will eventually put Bilstein struts on the front, but just dumped a couple grand into truck don't want to ask mama for more money as I lied about how much I already spent. Any thoughts?
Thanks

They actually sent you 3" blocks for the rear. Have you measured them?

They sent you 2" spacers for the front struts. Have you measured them?

 

[Mark Kay]

Yes, measured everything. The front spacers I believe were 2". The coil spring compression is supposed to make up for the extra inch.

I think it looks good as is especially if you haul any decent payload. Add some 60lb tube sand bags in the rear if you want it to sit some more. Otherwise start milling the rear block until satisfied.

I don't really haul anything heavy. I would like the front to be level with the rear, I want that little bit of lift on her. I just can't figure out why it still has that much rake.

Maybe your front coils are old and tired. The might have just compressed under the extra load.

Thats a good point. I will check them out. Thanks
