    I recently bought a 3-in lift from Ironam 4x4 and I'm really disappointed. After getting it installed I was hoping the truck would finally sit level.... Well it didn't.

    3in medium load (front) and medium load in the back

    Do you know what could be the issue?

    looks like the spring seat height is incorrect. Refer to this thread for more gouge. Hope you get it fixed, that's aggressive rake.

    Your issue is that you have an empty bed with no load, but medium load range leaf spring.

    And what @TuRDLYFE said above.

    lol yes I know that. But I’ve seen people with 3in lifts with bumpers completely level. I’ve called Ironman and I’m just waiting to hear back

    Same concept. Take a look a that thread. Folks say the back settles as well. I'd spring (no pun intended) for a King setup next time, but that's just me.

    With getting the new leaf pack and shocks, I think it’s supposed to give 2-3” I’m not sure you could get that kit and be level. Usually for the truck to be level it’s an add a leaf or block.

    Do you know what coil spring part number you have? Does it end with “A” or “B”?

    Maybe not have as pronounced as a rake but still a little bit of one.
    I don’t have a great side pic on level ground but here’s mine with the foam cells

    Well, the right springs are on there!

    To get the truck level, you might need to take out a leaf. I’ve not heard of anyone do that on the medium packs but I don’t see why you couldn’t. Maybe take out one of the overload springs, if you can, and see how that works.

    If you went 3” both front and back it was never gonna be level.

    I’m pretty sure it’s 3 in front and 2” in back
