So I just installed a 4inch rough country and I'm one inch higher in the front

I measure 43inches in front and 42inches rear

What would u guys recommend for a fix to level the rear out ?

Has anyone had this problem with this lift ?

I'd look into a rear spacer. TGC makes a 3/4" spacer for the rear, make different sizes as well.

1.5inch spacer, bring the rear up and have a 1/2inch rake to the front, cause once you have a full tank of fuel i bet you it will be reverse rake again!

do you have a level kit or spacer still on in front? I would assume a lift with a stock setup would have left the rake. Also drive it a bit to let it settle out. After i did my level it settled a bit.

Junior81 is right, it still has to settle. But it still may be off a bit. Just give it a little time

Very nice truck! If you haven't had an alignment, it will drop some afterwards.

what size tires are you running on those stock rims? Are you using spacers? I love the stock chrome rim and wondering what is the largest size tire that can fit on without rubbing with a 3-4" lift.
