Finally getting somewhere.. that is why yours sits low in the front. The rough country lifts now all use a 4” coil spring spacer for the rear to get the lift and the level look. 6” front and 4” rear like I said in a previous thread. Out of the box rough country lifts will be level now. Since yours is a lil older truck with apparently the old style lift, or someone swapped in another lift companies rear springs since I believe you said you bought it with the lift on it if I remember correctly, that is why yours sits low in the front before the bilsteins.

I told you he had the older kit with rear coils when y’all were arguing about this 3 weeks ago :anitoof:

And as I stated I never would’ve thought it was that unlevel even with the rear coils because my 2006, obviously older truck and a old lift, sat level and so does my 2015 so I figured most if not all rc lifts sat level or close to it, not a 2.5” rake. I apologize for not realizing that. Just seemed like the preload spacer was missing or something else was going on. Lol

No worries man. Im still trying to figure out why there were 1" lug nut looking spacers on the (3) studs on my top hat! I fabricated a lot of the 6" suspension components on my Jeep JK, but the spacers on the top of my top hat blow my mind.
Now its suppose to snow friday and have high winds. Should make for an interesting day of removing rusted strut hardware, putting the strut assembly and bilstein in my army ruck sack, and walking 2 miles to the service station that swapped my coil/strut assembly today. No weather is stopping this guy. Haha.
