Wanting it level

[Fred]

New to this site. Just bought a 2011 SLT about 3 weeks ago, wanted to level it out. Got the ProComp spacers and went to work getting it done. What I found was that it already had the DayStar comfort pucks already installed. Confused as to why it is not level. Measured fender wells at highest point. Front 37 1/2", rear 39 1/2". It does have the Air Lift bags on the rear. What do I need to do to get the leveled look?

If you still have 2" of rake that almost makes me think that they lifted the rear too. Do you have the bags that go inside of the coil? Either that or they installed a very small puck or the wrong ones up front, I have not seen a truck with 4" of rake before so you have something else going on.

Once we know a bit more information we can help you get to the bottom of this.

Thanks

Looks like they might've installed a 1" spacer up front. Maybe something small like .5 in the rear, but I doubt it.

I know stock, my truck was 36.5" front and 39" rear.

4wd or 2wd?

 

[Fred]

Yes, bags inside coils. 4wd

Yes, bags inside coils. 4wd

Do you happen to know what PSI you have inside of them? Additionally is the rear lifted any via a spacer on top or bottom of the coil?

 

[Fred]

When I took the measurements I let all the air out. No blocks below coils, can't tell if there are any on top.

Generally they do not put them on top as there is not a hole to allow for the hose going into the bags to fill them up, however if you bags are not top fill I would almost bet that there is a rear coil spacer as well, or they went with a 1/2" to 1" front coil spacer. Are you tires all the same size? they could of had a larger tire on the rear than the front I have seen this before too.

Let us know

Thanks

Tires are all the same. The spacers on the front, which I did not measure, say DayStar on them and looked exactly like the ones I put on my 08 Dakota. Same shape and height.

I have a 2.5 front spacer on the same truck and a 1.25 rear spacer.. and I still have 0.225 of a foot difference (=2.75 inchs) so my truck had 4 rake originally... Interesting. (Pic shows front @ 3.575 feet, rear 3.8feet = 0.225ft difference)
Measurements were taken on my flat garage concrete floor with 35inch toyo MT's

I bought mine used.. makes me wonder if it has the stock rear coils or not.

36.5 front, 39.5 rear stock for now I believe. Working on raising the front 2" with Bilsteins...going to add a few #100 sand bags to the back!

My truck was rockin' just over 3.5" of rake stock. I have top of coil rear coil spacers installed on my truck now with the 5100's up front. You should be able to tell just looking up there if there are any spacers on top of the rear coils though.

Really curious what size those front blocks are though.

I'm a newbie... just bought 2014 Lonestar Crew 4x4. Looking for info on leveling. By seeing what's out there I assume a 2" is what i need to level my truck? Not looking for a "lift" just want to level it out... any an all info would be greatly appreicated...

Do you have the air ride option or standard suspension?

Eric, instead of posting your question in three threads that other people started, start a new thread of your own. You will probably end up with more than just this question and it will be easier to follow what people say instead of lookin' in 3 different places. Should help you out more and make it easier for others to follow.

Hey Eric!
The real and best way to level your truck is to measure you fenders as each truck ranges in rake.
Park your truck on level ground and measure the front and rear.

Avg rake is 2.75" and many here either do 2" or 2.5"

Bilsteins max are 2.75" and settle to about 2.6"

I personally recommend 2"

This avoids the slight shake from stop to go. Many here don't feel it.
Being as **** as I, I felt it and did not like it.

Any further questions, ask and all will do their best to answer.
