leaf spring help
I put on my rubicon lift 3 months ago and the rear end still sits about an inch higher than the front. I was wondering if i could take out the smallest bottom leaf if that would help level out the jeep. I torqued all the bolts on the ground

ok if its a new lift with all new leafs? it will have to take a little time to settle in and it will drop about a 1in to 1/2in. dont lift the front yet, wait a few months and then see what happens. and if you are gonna lift it in the front you might wanna invest in a longer trac bar. or it will look like you are dog tracking.

just let it settle. it'll take a while. flex them out and put some extra weight in the back, i used bags of sand and of bunch of other random heavy stuff that i could find.
mine still sits a little higher in the rear, but its ok cuz when i go camping/wheeling it evens out a bit with all the extra gear in the back
