Inconsistent heights after lift kit. Help needed.

2018 trd offroad, I recently installed 2.5 shocks with a 2" lift, and 2" block spacers on the stock leafsprings to retain stock form.

The shocks are Hurricane by AM Wrangler, a UAE based brand. The perform nicely, but not only I have the famous Taco lean (even without me sitting in the driver seat), but the height and wheel gaps are inconsistent around the 4 corners.

I just measured now with half a tank of fuel and here's what I got currently:

Side - Floor to fender - Top of tire to fender (fender gap)
FL - 35" - 6"
RL - 39" - 9"
RR - 39.25" - 9.5"
FR - 36" - 6.5"

The rear difference is not my concern as that's probably because of the fuel level. My concern is more of the front difference + the rake (Which I think if I reduce the rake, I'll get a better ride quality as the weight distribution goes more to the rear to put load on the leafsprings).

I only have one adjuster on the shocks like in the picture below:



Any clue on what I should do to have a better wheel fitment/height/weight distribution?

Should I remove the rear spacers? Or just add a 2" spacers up front and try to adjust the springs to level the height difference between left and right?

I'd appreciate your advice.

 

Lowering the passenger front about 1/4" might fix all of the L/R differences. It will bring the front end to be the same side to side and probably effect the rear enough to get close. Removing the spacers from the rear will bring it down 2" to reduce some of the rake.

 

That quarter inch could even be based on how much fuel you have in the gas tank. I think if you get within a quarter inch you should probably be happy, lol. That, and I'd suggest driving it for 3-6 months and see how the suspension actually settles out before worrying about it.

 

I would try removing the rear blocks, if your main concern is the excessive amount of rake. Removing 2" rear blocks will lower your numbers 2" in the rear, which should get you closer to factory rake if that's what you're after. Blocks in the front are a 2:1 ratio (i.e., 1" block raises you 2").

 

Thanks a ton for the help guys. I'll be looking into lowering the front right (passenger) to equal the left, then might just add a 1" blocks in the front to reduce rake and increase wheel gap.
I will keep some rake as I'll be using the truck to tow a car trailer

 

Just a note that it doesn't work that way. You can't change weight distribution f/r with ride heights/rake. The f/r weight distribution is a function longitudinal cg location, wheelbase, and nothing else.

Your crossweight is probably a little screwy but you can't get that right without putting the truck on scales. I'd go to a 1" rear block then adjust the FR lower or FL higher to finish it up.

 

They're adjustable, adjust the lean out. Ditch spacers and blocks so your truck can actually benefit from the "upgrade".
