Slight Rake Adjustment?

[Chuck Lockhart]

Hello everyone. Bought my first new truck last month, 2018 Express CC 4x4. Love it. However, it's time to mod. First thing I did was install 34" KO2's but of course must level. I seen a Readylift 2" kit complete with UCAs for cheap ($200) in my local classifieds. Everything looked to be in perfect shape with little use. However, after getting it home and installed on my truck, it appears that it is the 2.5" kit. It lifted the front exactly as advertised, but now, depending on how it is parked, sometimes it looks nose high. When I measure with a tape, it is usually between 0-1/2" lower in the front. When it measures lower in the front, it looks perfect. But when it is even front to back, it looks nose high which is driving me crazy. So my question is.... can I do anything at all to either slightly raise the back or slightly lower the front? Thanks in advance.

I think 1/2”. Im running a 1” but only got 3/4” of lift but I have a tonneau cover adding weight in the back

Coil spacers are cheap. So are airbags. Do both at the same time if you use your truck to haul/tow anything.

Bigger selection of sizes if you look for " Jeep Wrangler coil spring spacer 97-06". Same spacer and larger choices in smaller sizes . I think you can go down to 3/8" . Thats not much but some of us are kinda fussy about some things and you can do both sides in a half hour or so. They go on the bottom of the spring not the top, before that discussion starts again ..

I notice they are made of steel or polyurethane with the poly ones being cheaper. Is there any downsides to using them vs the steel ones?

Don’t forget to adjust your headlights. You’d be surprised how many people don’t.

Funny you mentioned this. I got flashed a couple times last night while driving and figured this was the reason why. Plan on doing it on my next day off.

A company names Old Man Emu have them as small as 10mm

You’re referring to OME rear spacers for TJ’s correct? The OME 10mm spacers are good for 1/2” on most applications, good to know Rear TJ coil spacers will fit our trucks rear coil springs.

The OME spacers for the front of a TJ will work on the rear of our 1500's. looks just like a short version of all the rest of the poly TJ spring spacers and Ram 1500 poly's . Quadratec sells them .
