Im closer to understanding but not all the way there yet. When you level the truck you do lift the rear also. Like in my case, I did a 3'' spindle lift and a 3'' shackle lift. That means my trucks front was still lower than the rear after the lifts were done because I lifted everything 3 inches. But then I added a 2'' coil spacer and that brought the front end up higher and in my case almost leveled the front with the rear. Mine is about 1 - 1 1/2 lower in the front but I think that is because I have that heavy grill and winch.

But from what i can tell you did a 3'' block for the rear and supposedly a 3'' spacer for the front but that isnt going to level you out.

3" spacer in the front, 1 1/2" block in the back. Not 3" in both. I figured 1" block would completely level it and I wanted a SLIGHT rake. Not EXTREME. What I am getting at is I dont believe that it was a 3" spacer

BigC, I will call to see if they remove the isolator.

ah ok. im fully with you now. well I know when I did mine I did do the isolator on top so that may be one thing to check as suggested already but overall I don't think you're going to get it until you take it apart which sucks because that means another alignment. Let us know what you find out.

Well Im taking it up there Monday. He is going to try and take a look at it without taking it apart. I still need a link to a 2wd 2.5-3" spacer. Just cant find one.

And I really cannot figure out the whole shock/strut thing. The guy says I have shocks according to everyone else I have struts...ahh!

Get some DayStar spacers, they'll raise it 2.5" and make it level, if not slightly higher in the front like mine was. http://www.daystarweb.com/productlis...t=Comfort+Ride You can look through them and decide which one you wanna go with

I had these: http://www.daystarweb.com/productdet...p?productID=11

Good luck!
