Default Just finished installing my lift!? Pics

Hi, guys just finished installing my lift..but it is about 1 1/2 inches lower in the front then in the back..Is this normal? It is a RC 3", it came with one add a leaf and 1 1/4 inch blocks for the rear and just the coil for the front. There is also vibration but im guessing that is because I have to drop the transfer case... Here it is.. Oh and those are the stock tires

Do you use that to shoot at the rival drug lords ?

I'm not sure where that is but that is beautiful territory.

I think the Jeep looks great.

did you tighten the shackle bolts while the weight was on the ground?
if not, that may be the cause.
but it should settle in after a while.

your rear leaf will settle after a little while.... IMO i prefer a little more height in the rear end over the front... that way when you have some trail gear in the back your jeep isn't reclining back

Here is a picture of my jeep, its about 2 inches higher in the back, i like it that way so when i have weight in the back it doesn't look like a low rider in the back......................
