Default Thoughts...

So i recently installed a 3 inch rough country lift on my 01 Cherokee (last week) and was wondering if its typical for the back end to be noticeably less lift than the front? I got a full pack not add a leaf. I was very surprised to see the front and back weren't equal in height. Its kind of disappointing in a way. What are your thoughts on this? What can I do to get the rear to level out with the front... or is it a waiting game until the front settles in and matches with the back? The back doesn't seem like a true 3 inches... maybe 2? Am I missing something or am I just that silly? Any possibility I can add my stock leafs to my new pack to even it out?

Thank you,

CW

That's opposite of what it should be, that is a bit higher in the rear.


Are the coils seated properly?

It could just be crap country leafs. It does seem weird that the rear is lower though. Pics of shackle angle. OP, how is the shackle facing. Like / or like \. That you can answer now
