Default I need some advise Is my truck level or a wheelie machine.

So I put my lift in this weekend 3 inch coil spacers in the front and 4 inch blocks in the rear. I didnt want to stack blocks so I took the stock ones out so It was only lifted 2 inches in the rear. Well I thought the truck would sit level but looking at it im not sure. And it seems like everyone i ask varies. So I figured Ill ask here should I put another inch or two in the rear or does it look good?

To me it looks like it's setting a little low in the back.

Looks a tad lower in the back to me.

Maybe your springs are sagging a little. I'd either add another inch or so in the back, or get 2 inch coil spacers.

On the sec pic IMO i could tell the fronts a tad higher, not much depends on if it's gonna make that much difference and drive you crazy.

measure from the ground to the rim of the fender well. use a jack in the rear to bring it up to where you want it. it depends on your preference, but i like the rake look of a slightly higher rear.

I think 2" would be just about right
