I have the procomp 6" lift and my front is lower than the front , whats the best way to equal that out , put a leveling kit stacked on 6" suspension lift? Any other suggestions??

 

A properly designed suspension lift should level the truck. You really shouldn't combine a level with a suspension lift (although people do). Level with body lift is fine, body lift with suspension lift is fine.

I'd think it'd be more an issue with the lift itself or the way it was installed.

 

idk bought the truck with the lift installed maybe they installed it with rake down in the front, I see lifted trucks a lot like that with rear higher than the front ...I guess I can just take it to local 4x4 shop and ask why its like this

 

A properly set up truck would have the rear higher than the front when there is no load in it.

 

Ty oj!!!!

 

a truck with rake handles much better than a level truck. I think if you try to mess with it you could be opening a can of worms. I've heard of guys throwing on a spacer, but I cant say I'd do it myself.

 

We brought this up in an open session with Ram engineers a while back and according to the engineers, it has very little to do with handling weight or towing. Although the raised rear does give some added room for loading and tongue weight, rear ends should not sag more than an inch or so if the springs/leafs are proper for handling the amount you load AND the load is positioned correctly. (This is their theory, not mine. I've loaded the rear and pulled trailers that were well within the posted limits of the truck and damn near had my tires scrub over bumps - before I installed air bags).

The primary reason for the rake and the reason why trucks have more of a rake than they used to is purely for aerodynamics and better fuel economy. A side benefit is better handling due to the reduced wind drag.

The only advantage to leveling the front of the truck is to allow for larger tires and better ground clearance (aside from appearance). From a performance standpoint, you are better off with the rake.

Personally, I hate the look. My first couple of 4x4 trucks had no noticeable rake, but I've both leveled and lifted the last four I've had. Either by a level & body lift combo or on my current truck, with just a suspension lift, which made it just about dead level on it's own.

If you level your truck, expect a small loss of fuel economy from wind drag alone, even if you don't increase tire size.

 

Yeah im with you hammer I cant stand the forward rake look at all......Im going to take it to a 4x4 shop here amd let them look at it and give me the opions

 

i had the same issue with my 6" lift skyjacker. i just put on some bilstein leveling struts. took measurements from front to rear and set them for the difference. turned out perfect. going on 6 months now with no issues

 

Now I've installed a Skyjacker 6" kit, on a good buddy's Chevy Z71 and that thing was just like my Rancho 4" on my truck, you could lay a level on the side bed rail when we were done and the bubble was just about dead nuts???

Mine is a torsion front and so was this Chevy, maybe it's a coil-over thing. Dunno...
