    I think you need to add a block or leaf to the rear to get the stance you’re looking for. Did you take it for a spin to get it settled in? Maybe adjust the preload? Hopefully someone else will chyme in.

    You did nothing to raise the rear. Struts don’t add lift.

    mans your front will probably settle 1/4” maybe 1/2”

    No I just installed front shocks and rear shocks but I watched a video that said that after a few miles the shocks will adjust hoping that this will happen will wait for a couple of days give it a good run daily use and see if they settle as you mentioned pahaf thank's for the tip if they do not settle will maybe buy an 1" block will wait and see thank's

    Gotta raise the rear. Give it a week or so and let it settle then either put it a block of the height you want or an add a leaf.

    @pahaf nailed it though. You didn’t lift your rear. Those shocks aren’t wrapped in coils like the front and depend on your leafs for lift. A block, add a leaf, or another leaf pack. Each have their advantages and disadvantages depending on use. I’d imagine if you change your front preload it will change the ride height, but may not get the driving characteristics you desire. Also it will negate the lift you gained which I think you picked these in the first place.
