Front end higher than back after new coils?

[89obsSB]

So the springs you put in state that they will add 1-2 inches of height and your wondering why it sits higher? Or am i missing something.

Just add blocks in rear. Then will be level. Would be a lot cheaper and less time consuming then other routes.

I installed new coil springs cargo max xhd
And the front end is sitting higher is this normal I put heavy duty 6 leafs in the rear I’m thinking about putting a 8leaf to level it out

No need to add 8 leaf setup. That would be a lot more expensive then just adding blocks between the leaf pack and axle.

Polyurthane bushing… with extra heavy duty springs it says that it will add a 1-2in lift in the front

So we understand, you did not read the instructions or thought it won't happen to you or ?

These truck come from factory with a rake in the front… I was hoping the extra heavy duty coils would level it but it’s a hair to high and I prefer to have it level so I’ll have to look into some blocks for the rear

Don't forget to aim your headlights when you're done.

Yea there already aimed as I’m running super bright hid

if they dont turn then the headlights are garbage. if they are composite lense then they are probably yellow anyways. I have adjusted one that wouldnt move with a pocket full of washers. properly aimed headlights are extremely important.

I started with refinishing the lenses, then the 4 high mod, then in the fog I saw how screwed the one lense was and discover it was screwed but aimed with washers, then the low beam mod, then I finally got spyder glass lenses. which are kinda built cheap but are otherwise kick ass. sure they have flaws but they are easily overcome and they are glass.

hell I even use regular cheap halogen bulbs and they are bright as hell. but they are aimed perfectly and dont blind oncoming traffic.

this procedure is from the Haynes manual.

My hid lights are 6000k which is legal and there brand new headlight housing and the adjustment is perfect

Keep in mind they can only adjust so much I’m running hid and can see way better and farther than my crappy old halogen
