Well, i wrapped up lifting the heep today, except for the disco's, after gettn the wheels on and taking it off the jack stands, the whole front sits about an inch lower than the rear, but the real concern is the right front corner sits 3/4 to 1 inch lower than the driver side. I broke out the tape measure just to confirm ( cant exactly rely on the garage floor to be level), i measured it from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender flare, if you stand back about 5/10 feet, you can actually see the difference. This was a used rough country 3 inch lift consisting of springs (of course) up front, and blocks (for now) in the rear. What to do????

Are both of the rubber spring isolaters still in place?

I had the same issue with my RC 3" lift except it was the back that was not level from side to side. It evened out after driving it for a week though.

Make sure your coil springs are installed correct, like where the coil starts can make a difference, make sure both your rubber isolators are in good shape, Sway bar connected? Drive around for a week and let everything settle before you get to excited.

Thanks guys, the rubber isolator, thats at the top of the bumpstop mount right?? I dont have the sway bar connected yet, in the process of putting in the dis-connects, i should mention its a used lift system, the springs match, and the shocks were good as far as compression. The lift kit was used, Was originally on the vehicle, but the guy took it off before i bought it, and put it back in the box. Do the lifts usually sit taller in the back? I have a 1 inch spacer i thought about putting in there to levelit out, then it would be 4 in front and 3 in the rear.

XJ and level, there is no such thing lol. A little bit is nothing to worry bout.

same here man. i just installed my RC 4.5 kit full packs. the rear was an inch taller. but driving around for a week or so it leveled out. im excited now, but now i found out i got a busted front u-joint so back into the she goes.

another thing you might try is this...

raise the tail end of your Jeep up...

loosen the shackles and rear springs

WITHOUT tightening the bolts, sit your Jeep on the ground...

now tighten the bolts to 65-75 ft/lbs

this is how all suspension bushings are supposed to be tightened. with the load on them before tightening. I have seen this make a vehicle sit un-level before.

not to mention that they will ride REALLY rough if you tighten them in the air
