Rough country suspension Help

[ParkeTR]

I had gotten the 4x4 suspension lift from rough country with the lifted springs. The back of the truck sits 2-3 inches higher then the front of the truck. I called the guys at rough country and I had gotten contradicting answers to the problem. One guy told me to drive the truck and the springs would settle. They did but it’s still higher then the front. The last guy told me the stock blocks in the rear should of been removed but the other guys asked if I had the stock blocks in and said they should be there. Is there anyway to level it out?

Did you lift the rear with an add-a-leaf and a block? If so, you'll have to remove a block.

It really comes down to your preference. It could easily level itself out if you add a few hundred pounds of weight in the back. If you never carry anything in the back, you could remove the block and it would probably sit close to level.

Is one of your front drop pieces a bit plate with holes drilled in it that your factory drop bracket bolts to? If so... be real careful... they are notorious for breaking a hole into your front diff. Very poorly designed, but they keep selling them.

I had gotten the Upgraded springs in the rear. I have no lift block just the lift leafs and the factory bump stop block.

The factory bumpstop block can be removed and the bumpstop will now hit the axle.
The rubber bumpstop hitting the axle is normal practice in vehicles.

Yes I know this the problem I am having is the front is 7 1/2 inches from tire to fender in the front and 11 inches in the rear tire to fender. The stock blocks are 2 1/2 inches. And if the kit wasn’t supposed to use the stock blocks why are the U bolts they sent me perfect for the new spring and stock blocks. If I removed the blocks the u bolts would no longer fit.

Its a truck. Its supposed to be higher in the back to allow suspension movement when loaded. If you are going for aesthetics then you will have to do some changes to the lift.

i believe rough country guarantees the truck to be level when the lift is installed not a ridiculously high rear end. I was just looking for feedback on anybody that has ever had the lift and if they had the same issues. It’s a temporary lift. But I don’t wanna be nose diving everywhere I got.

When I did my lift I was happy with the front at about 5 1/2 inches. I don't know see the truck as a truck like to haul anything so I basically just used shackles to raise the rear 1 1/2 inches or so to make the truck work like I needed.
