    Got a ready lift 2.25 inch lift and put it on the front. Now the front is noticeably higher than the back. What should i do. What are my options.

    Post some up and someone will spot the issue more than likely.

    Plus if you lifted the front only then it's safe to assume you will be higher unless you had over a 2 inch rake to start with.

    did you not take measurements before? Id bet if you did you would find that you were less than 2.25in of difference between the front and the rear.

    Looks good to me as well unless that concrete is really uneven.

    'Level' on these trucks will make it appear to have negative rake

    My hub to fender measurements are dead even and everybody says my truck looks like it's leaning backwards

    They come from the factory with 2" rake

    So anything over that in the front will indeed yield negative rake

    A truck should have rake. These trucks, with their miserably weak leaf springs, especially.

    You have real leaf springs, so you're exempt.

    It's going to be easier to just lift the front another 1/2". I like the spring rate - just a little more lift than I wanted. About an inch more.
