Hey y'all,
I recently installed a 4" lift on my 95 supercab and it came out pretty good, but I'm a little unhappy with the level. It's still got the factory rake (I know it's designed to have this but it's a hunting truck that rarely towa anything). The kit was marketed as a leveling lift kit. I went cheap and got the blocks for the rear and the drop brackets and coils/shocks for the front. I left the factory blocks in and placed the RC blocks on top as instructed. Everything with the front was pretty straight forward as well.

So I called rough country and told them my story and after a couple of weeks of back and forth phone calls and measuring, they sent me 6 inch springs and shocks to install. Anyone ever experience this? I wouldn't mind a little bit of a bulldog look, but I really just want a level truck. Also, I'm running 32s I worry that they will look ridiculous once installing the 6" springs/shocks.

Any thoughts?

 

New pic. The first wasn't really on level ground.

 

Remove a block from the back.

 

Should've mentioned I've already tried removing the factory blocks with the frame bump arms (sorry not sure what else to call them). Gives it a bulldog look. I verified with rc that both blocks should be installed. Maybe that is the only solution?

 

Measure and get the right size single block. The factory block doesn't need to be retained if you are just trying to get the right stance. If you are not planning on towing or hauling anything just get the correct size blocks for the back to level it out. I don't recommend stacking blocks anyway. Once it does sit level any time you do put a load in the back it will squat more noticeably.

 

Ok noted. So just to be clear, I'm measuring from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender. Sound right? If I'm two inches lower in the front, do you think changing from the 4" to the 6" shocks springs will get it close? If not, I'll just look for the right blocks.

 

If you are set on using the taller springs up front go for it. It will end up being pretty tall for a 32" tire with 6" lift springs.

Here is a 6" lift with 33's. I suggested the rear block adjustment because it is the least complicated. Your driveshaft could also be an issue in the front going taller.

 

I actually think it looks okay, just how it is. You won't regret it if you load the back, or pull a trailer. Look up "Carolina Squat truck" nobody want's that look...

If you do end up going with a shorter block in the back, to get the look you want, I'd be interested in buying the 6" springs/shocks you have, as I need a set for my truck.

 

I agree with these statements but it is all up to you.

 

Your truck looks perfect if you ask me, 32's are just the right size for the wheel openings and the tire spacing to the body is good... not too high not too low.

 

Thanks for all the responses! I'm leaning towards leaving it alone after hearing y'all.

I've been reading alot about RC springs sagging. Can anyone attest to that? I put this lift on ~6 months ago ...maybe that's what I'm experiencing? I've read that they usually sag even after just 4 months. wondering if I should be thinking of just investing in maybe a better quality spring?

 

Personally I would wait and see if they start sagging significantly before upgrading to another spring.

 

Thanks to everyone for their input. I think I'll leave it like this for now and see if it gets any worse. If I do decide to part with the 6" springs/shocks, I'll pm you.

So now onto a real issue........intermittent o2 sensor lean code and a bit of a rough idle. See y'all around, and thanks again!
