Default Re: Deaver Spring Question

I also added the TC UCAs on the front, as well as bringing the DR coilovers to the full 3.5".

The trouble is now my truck rides like a bulldog (high in the front), and I think it looks like ****. I was under the impression that it should have a slight rake to the front with this set up. I know I can lower the front back to where it was, but it was sitting about level before (see the pictures in my gallery).

What went wrong here? I am thinking the shocks, but I am not sure. I plan to go back to the shop tomorrow morning (I couldn't tell in the parking lot originally, as their parking lot has a huge rake to it).

Here are some random measurements:

Ground to Bottom of Rear Bumper: 19" (Measured to bottom of chrome bumper, just to the right of the hitch)

Front Ground to Body: 40 3/4" (measured from center of wheel well)
Rear Ground to Body: 39 3/4" (measured from center of wheel well)

Front Spacing Tire to Body: 9 1/8" (measured from center of wheel well)
Rear Spacing Tire to Body: 7 3/4" (measured from center of wheel well)

It is possible that when you raised the front, the weight distribution changed where the rear has more weight now and that caused the Deavers to compress a bit thus lowering the rear.
