Is there ANY way to make the rear just a tad bit lower on a 2012 4x4 when adding a 3" lift? I HATE how these dodges seem to look higher in the rear than the front. I already have bilstiein struts up front adjusted to 2.8" and it still looks higher in the back. I just hate having the front end look as if it's sagging. I like for the front to ride a tad bit higher than the back. How can this be accomplished without a suspension lift?

Have you measured to see if the back is higher now? I did a 2" front level with a 1.5 " rear level and my truck only had a 1" rake.. if you ever plan to use the box of the truck or tow than you'll regret making the front of the truck higher. It'll squat bad and look horrible!

If you really want to have that look consider cutting the coils down a but in the back

I hardly ever pull anything with it other than a duck boat or trailer with a four wheeler on it.. the heavy hauling is left to diesels. I just like the sportier look of the front being a tad higher. I'm not wanting 3" higher up front. Just want to completely eliminate the rear looking higher than the front even when it may not be.. only way to do that is literally raising the front higher. The way the trucks come from factory make them look rear high.

You'll want to put airbags in if you're going to put a four wheeler in the back. Mine drops an inch even with the air bags. When the truck was stock it went perfectly level with the four wheeler in the back. Damm soft rear ends really aren't meant for working! Lol
