It might be where you parked when you did the measurement as well. There is one spot I park in at home where the rear measures at 23.5 when I park there. At first I thought something was going on because the area looks flat and not at an angle. It is the only place that if I park where it looks uneven with the back so much higher.

Is your alignment done correctly?

It looks like you are missing a part or you got the wrong struts and spring, I just do not know?

But I do know your front should not be 2” lower than the back. I was told by JBA when I ordered my lift. The standard Tommudd's Econo 3.5" lift kit, the back end will sit about a ½” higher than the front. That is why I went with the 0.500 clevis spacer to get a little closer to level.

Look at this posting it has a photo of a rig with this lift.

I will hopefully know more after next weekend… still waiting on my struts and spring to come in. then up I go with a little tweaking of my own I am hoping it will set level or the front a little bit higher than the back.

I think it is driving funny because the back is so much higher than the front? I maybe wrong????

P.S. I am 2wd for now.

Bring it to Ohio, the only cost will be a 24 pack of Summer Shandy, $50, and having to put up with ThunderbirdJunkie and teckman02 lol3.gif

Was I suppose to remove the rubber thing that rear spring sits in? Is that why the back is higher?

Maybe the fronts were assembled without the isolaters? Can you get a picture of one side on the front without the tire on just so people can gawk and maybe spot something?

You didn't lift it enough then
:happy175::happy175::happy175::happy175:

I disagree not everyone needs max lift! I just did coils and shocks and am perfectly satisfied with it. I didn't want to do a clevis lift and rear iso's. So how did I not lift it enough if thats what I wanted?:shakehead:
