ok, I'm kind of bummed. I thought my new lift was sagging and nose low so I measured it today(in between turkey 2nds) and noticed I'm 1.5" shorter than when installed last week. What are my options? I know sag is normal but only 1/2"-3/4" at most. I'm thinking about calling Revtek but I'm guessing I won't get far. Any ideas besides 1" shorter block in the rear?

Get on the phone with Revtek pronto! My lift hasn't budged at all, and I've had it since February. I would demand either new springs or a refund, that is ridiculous. Mine is 6 1/2" Pro Comp and is the same as installed, and I have been 4wheeling & Hunting a LOT this year.

New springs always settle when installed and you get some mileage on them.
We don't sell or install revtek so I'm not sure what the standard settling is.
Currently, how much taller are you know vs. pre lift?

Same reason that new guitar strings go out of tune a lot until they get thier "set".
All the molecules need to get arranged by the tension.
