    The coils are wrong or the shocks are wrong or both are wrong, but your front suspension is the issue that NEEDS to be fixed regardless of what you do with the rear or where you want it to sit in relation to the front.

    I'd start by checking to make sure you have the correct coils for your application.

    That was one of the first things that I mentioned to pro comp when I contacted them. I asked If they could have sent me the wrong coils but they immediately shut that down. The coils are not marked in any way so there is no way I can verify this myself.

    I'd definitely be suspect of those coils. I'm not so impressed with Pro-Comp's customer service or their products.

    The proper set of OME coils would probably solve your issues. Unfortunately, you'll need another alignment afterwards.

    I'm definitely not impressed either, during the whole process of contacting them I had to email them multiple times just to hear back from them once. And they seemed to just give up on helping me and offered a spacer kit. Only reason I decided to go with them was the price and how well it worked out for my buddy.

    After the leaf spring recall my rear end sat about an inch lower. If that helps at all.

    @Rick7991

    Your alignment specs should be more along these lines. You got something going on up front. Almost willing to bet you have the wrong shocks up there.

    You 4x4? What do the cv angle's look like?

    Post pics of the shocks so we can see what the heck you got going on up front. 24"s is too high and your caster is no better than a unicycle.

    Once you figure out your front issue I'd advise ditching those blocks and getting an AAL instead and if you are trying to raise the rear more most certainly do not get a bigger block :facepalm:

    I didn't read the whole thread, but for what's its worth, why don't you add a an add a leaf? That would fix it. $80 or so.

    This that and the other thing.
    the issue is that he bought a 3" pro comp lift that lifted the front 4" with a block in the back. we are trying to figure out how he got that extra inch lol theres no labels on the springs tho so its hard to say if they sent him the wrong set up or not. but you are correct by saying that adding height to the back would level him and AAL's are definitely the recommended option over throwing a 2" block back there

    Without UCA'S, I would be trying to LOWER the front, not RAISE the rear. Get them to send you another pair of coilovers to try.

    When I contacted them and asked them if they could have sent the wrong coils by mistake, they told me that definitely wasn't the case. Not sure how they keep track of all their different coils if none of them are labeled lol. But basically the only option pro comp gave me was to exchange my kit for a spacer kit, which I refused so I am kind of on my own at this point. If I have to buy new coils from another company I will, I just want to make sure the coils are the problem before I start spending money.
    If I figure out the issue and bring it down to 3 inches of lift in the front the angles should be fine, right?

    Also do people usually run different UCA's for a 3 inch lift? I didnt think they were needed for a lift this small.

    99% need them at 3" or above. 50% under 3".

    Common info.

    Id never put procomp on my truck tbh. Their stuff usually doesn't hold up to much more than what a mallcrawling street Queen gets put through.

    Return kit and start saving for a half decent setup is my suggestion.

    I had the procomp 3inch lift main issue with this kit is the front coil are rated at 720lb each I'd recommend getting after market uppers. Alot of stress on the stock upper ball joints at that angle you have.
