Ok so I installed my new RC 6.5 inch X-Series lift with drop down brackets and 3/4 inch spacers up front about 3 weeks ago and around 500-750 miles. It rides great, well better than what was on it. I have a smittybilt XRC front bumper which is why I went with a 3/4 spacer up front. Now I'm starting to notice that the driver rear is sitting higher than the rest. I measured today, from top of the tire to the bottom of the stock fender flare. Driver Front 8 1/2, Passenger Front 8 3/4, Passenger Rear 8 1/2, Driver Rear 9... I'm wondering if I move the Driver Rear leaf spring up one hole on the shackle if that will help level it out and not cause any ride issue?? Thoughts?? Suggestions??

Yes it will lower the rear about .5" and you wont have any issues doing so.

Thank you

You want to put your shackles at different heights??

Well kinda, basically my shackles have two holes where I could mount my rear springs. So the driver side would be in the top hole and the passenger side would be in the bottom hole about a .5 inch difference, which hopefully would level me out

Not sure I like that idea...your measurements aren't far off...make sure that leaf is seated properly..if so I think it'll settle close with time.

I'll double check the seat today, but I would've figured it would've settled by now specially since everything else is closer in measurements.

I did talk to Rough Country and Quadratech but said it would be ok and shouldn't cause any issues..

Guess I can only try it out and see what happens lol

Go drive a few rough gravel roads and some bumpy trails that make the vehicle cycle the suspension. It should all settle out after a few 1000 miles. Make sure each shackle bolt is torqued identically.
