i just bought a 4 inch lift from rough country, and unhappy, not sure if they set it up to be level with the fenderwell lines but i dont like it, as you all know the front fender well is a tad bit higher than the back, my friends cant notice it unless its on level groundn, but i can and i think it looks like a pulling truck, and im defiantly not digging it lol. but anywho i was wondering what you guess are doing to level your trucks out.
I know add more springs, but i cut my stock springs which were 2 on each side and placed them in the new leaf packs and still didnt get much more out of it, and i understand that they dont have an agressive arch to help with the weight but i dont want to have 12 leaves in each side just to level out, i found a 1inch add a block or "leaf" how ever you want to call it on off road design ..http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/Zero%20Rates.htm, do you guys think that would be ok being on the font axle, i reckon it would, just a little weary.

Did the lift come with 4 new springs or does it use blocks in the rear? If your complaint is that the front sits higher that the rear wouldn't adding a 1" block to the front add to your problem?
If you used blocks in the rear you may have sagging factory springs in need of replacing.
-
Never never never never use blocks in the front. Oh yeah did I say never ever!
Your stock springs will do exactly zero to help raise your front end with along lift springs. A new positive arch leaf or add a leaf might do it.
-
I'm confused as to what you are trying to do? Are you trying to raise the front or rear?
-
srry, im wanting to raise the front, i forgot to say so. yea the front is sagging. the front came with new springs and rear with blocks. i just seen where off road design had that zero rate add leaf and figured that it would be like adding 3 or 4 more springs to the bottom of the leaf pack to make the difference.

Just add a leaf

anywhere you know off that has them cheap, not really wanting to spend another hundred bucks on it, but oh well
