    Hey everyone, my truck sits much lower in the front. I'm wondering if there is a common fix for it. Ground to fender in the back is about 39.5" on both sides. Front passenger is about 37.5" and front driver is about 37". The truck has a 3 inch toytec lift that is about 3 years old and a us off road hidden winch mount with a Smitty built wiench and synthetic rope. The coilovers are not adjustable.

    Thanks.

    Your heavy up front. Get adjustable coilovers or put 150 pounds in the bed of the truck.

    I was hoping there would be a spacer that will work with my lift as a temp fix until I can afford new coil overs.

    Yah it was. I'm not sure if it was ever truly level but I know it was never this bad.

    did it start sagging? Or did you jump it ? Just makes me wonder if it was level to begin with why it would start sagging...if it was level at the start.

    I'd say you're front heavy with the bumper and winch but could be wrong. Also if the 3" lift is a 3 in the rear its probably in reality a 2.5 in the front.

    Nooooo never jumped it. If I remember correctly the bumper and winch dropped it a half inch.

    I think I'll just have to save up for new coilovers.

    Sounds like you answered your own question.

    Get coil overs that can have preload adjusted.
