Leveling

[JB1]

Any fender measurements?

Get a picture of the top of the rear Spring- I will bet there is a spacer in there.
I wonder how much that from bumper weighs...

Also post what you installed “ What 3.5” lvl” part and or manufacture-

So the front is 23" from center of wheel to fender edge and the rear is 26" from center of wheel to fender edge. Its 7" from top of tire to fender edge in front and 10" from top of tire to fender edge in rear.

Jb1 heres his fender numbers. The rear end is 2" higher than my stock measurements. I'm curious about your bumper as well. Even with the level installed your front end is sitting pretty low. I think we may have a candidate for the eibach strut and coil setup set to the 3.5" (heavy bumper) setting. The angles look good, and with a set of ucas he should be fine.

I’d bet a paycheck though he’s got at least a 2” coil spacer in back. He pulls that he’ll be more level, losing a bit of rake.

Rear looks OEM with Fox shocks, so that’s stock height. However, we REALLY need to see the upper portion of the rear springs. Use the flash on your camera or another light, as it’s hard to see in your pics. The front strut is definitely OEM as you can see the Pentastar logo. What we need to see is better pics of the top of the front struts/coils to see what kind of pucks/spacers you got up there.

So the front i cant get a good picture of the puck but they are from supreme suspensions and its a 3.5 inch leveling kit i know because i installed it. But there is a picture looking up inside the rear coil and a picture looking at the puck the best i can get.

As GIJoe stated I'd say you have a 2" spacer back there. If you're happy with the ride you have up front, your best bet is to pull the spacer and get it back onto the oem height. From there you can truly decide what, if any changes you want to make. There's tons of options out there. Eibach, bilstein, icon, sd truck, carli and I'm sure others all make coils for the rear and there's plenty more choices for the front. But you're gonna be chasing your tail trying to correct the front when the spacer size in the back would keep it level at 4" of lift.

Report back on how big that spacer is out back. What front bumper do you have on your truck?

Im not sure it was on there when i bought it. Pretty sure its just an amazon special called a superdrive rock crawler. I found it looking for a different bumper for it. Lol

If there is no spacers in back what about cutting down the Coilsprings in back a little? If you’re not hauling heavy loads?

Nothing wrong with that. Spacers are pretty basic in design. What bumper do you have up front? I can't imagine that is weighs so much that it's sagging your front end as much as it is, than again I could be wrong.

With a stock front end, I'd look into getting Those control arms, sell those quick struts and that spacer you have up front and get a set of eibach front lift coils and either bilstein 5100s or the eibach struts. With them being adjustable, if your bumper is in fact heavy enough to be the cause of your sag, you can use the coils which lift the truck 2.7 at the lowest setting and move them up one notch on the adjustable strut which will put you about 3.5"s. That's the highest id ever remotely consider going on factory suspension. Should get you close to the height you have in the rear now. Check out the eibach thread in the lifted section. Lots of pics for reference and fender height numbers to use.

I was qondering if thats possible but i didnt know if that was a thing or not... I mean i dont really haul anything so it wouldnt matter i just wasnt sure if that was safe!

That extra wieght form the after market front bumper ain't helping your case, either. At the very most front-est part, it's "moment" must be exaggerated to boot.

I put a 1.75” spacer level kit on my truck a few months ago, and it’s time to change my ball joints. Should I just change the UCAs to non-stock or just put oem ones on?
