Problem after lifting

[recklessabandonman]

I just put a 4" Rough country lift on my BroncoII and the front sits what looks like 1-2 "higher than the back. Will the new front coils go down in a month or 2 or is this the new ride height? Is there something I can do to fix this problem?

have you drove the truck at all???

the TTB front is notorious for looking way out of alignment/high right after being jacked up...

drive it around the block and park on a flat surface and recheck....and yes they can "settle" some...

also, your rear leaves could have sagged some ( along with the front coils ) so if ya used blocks to lift the rear, the rear spring sag could also be a factor compared to the new front lift coils...

Yeah, we drove it to Walmart to get the new tires put on, (who said would change the tires, but since it was lifted, they wouldn't, which is total crap) and took it to get aligned and the new tires put on our our way home. right now the rear springs look flat, and we put blocks above them.

I've read about putting exploder springs on the rear to lift it, so how does that work?

because the Expo has alot more weight to it, as well as being spring under...and has more arch...

you could prolly ditch the blocks also if ya use the Expo leaves

or, if ya want, you could use some shackles in the rear for 1 1/2 - 2" of lift ( would be cheaper )

Well I already have blocks in the back, but have the drop brackets and springs in the front, which probably lifted the front more than the blocks lifted the back.

wait you said the blocks are above the springs that doesnt sound right my old yota had a 4in roughcountry lift said they needed to go under the springs and if the lift came with new coils then they just need time to settle down

 

[recklessabandonman]

Oops, I got confused, they are below the springs. When you lifted your Toyota, was there a very visible ride height difference between the front and the back?

 

[bigcountry]

nope old yotas dont have coil springs in the front they r tbars

most toyotas sag in the rear when lifted,every toyota i ever owned sagged in the rear. and x2 on the shackles,cheap and easy and you can even make them yourself.
