    i gotta sily question for you guys.... now that my engage pack has settled down my front end sits about an 1-2" higher then the rear

    in the front im runnin mid travel suspension with zero preload on the coils and camburg spindles

    when i go long travel is it going to sit even higher in the front or maybe possibly lower because the coilovers are at more of an angle? so i can take preload out to what it needs to level it ish?

    any help is appreciated, im trying to figure out if i should keep my spindles or gusset the shit outta my stockers and sell the burgs

    its hard to believe that your frontend sits higherthan your rear w/a 50t pack. did you take any leafs out at all or what? whats your rear setup?

    I think it Will sit higher unless you get 10" coilovers ...if you look at krishs build his truck sat higher in the front after long travel....then rjs sits low due to the 10s

    That's strange Blake my truck sits about 2 inches higher in the front but I have the engage kit and it sits high with preload. What is your height from center of your rear hub to the fender opening?

    ...too much shit to list.
    That would lift the rear, not lower it.
