Zone 4" lift with fox shocks not level?

[CodyB]

Hey All,

I just recently purchased a zone 4" lift with level tail end and fox shocks.. I took it to my local garage to be installed and they called me and asked if I was purposely going for the "carolina squat" ... I drove up there and it definitely isnt any where close to being level in the tailend. I assumed that it would settle and my mechanic said the front would not but the back will because its just bushings so it will just squat even worse with time? I assumed with Zone being owned by BDS, I wouldnt run in to a issue like this.. any recommendations or ideas?
Thank you for your time!

Get better spring in the rear, or spring spacer

That front looks like more than 4"? Did your mechanic measure the front to make sure it isn't the front that's wrong?

Thats how they looked maxed out. Mine looked the same with my 6112s until I dropped them a bit.

Well for starters Zone does not offer a tail high option with any of their 4" lifts that is only 6"
With it being that far off there is a larger issue. What is the part # of the rear box kit zone sent you?

Do you have leveling struts up front? If so they need to be set down to 0 lift. Your last post on march 2020 states you have bilstein 5100 installed.

they are being replaced with the fox shock upgrade with the Zone Kit.

The zone kit does not replace the front struts. Only the rear shocks. Do me a favor and go take a look at them or have the shop send you a picture of the front struts.
