Ass end higher than front end after lift?!

[Shanewise]

Bought an EcoDiesel last month and had it lifted with the 3.5 Rough country suspension lift but I absolutely hate the stance of the truck I feel like the ass end is up in the air. Looks like your slamming on the breaks the whole time with the way the nose is down. I don’t want to stack lifts and add anything else up front I think it will make the ride unbearable. Has anyone else ran into this ?

From the pic it looks perfect to me. Hard to tell.

Thanks for the fast reply it’s hard to tell in that picture but the nose is definitely down if anything I want the ass end lower

Measure to the bottom of the rock rail behind the front wheel and to the bottom in front of the rear wheel. See what those measurements are. The fender gap on these trucks can be deceiving.

So people don’t have to turn their heads sideways.

Also, all trucks come with a rake (taller springs in the back and shorter springs in the front) from the factory, including most aftermarket lift kits, unless you get a leveling kit. Purpose is when towing, your rear end doesn’t sag. Very normal.

All cars come with rake too, just trucks have more.

I don't see anything wrong with this lift that would lead me to believe the lift increased the natural rake.

I experienced the same stink bug stance with the Mopar lift. I did not like the look and stance at all. My first fix was to lower the rear end by 1.5 inch. Final fix was a pair of Rubicon front fenders and reinstalling the lift springs.

I just saw your post for fenders! ?

Agreed. I enjoy the rake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

awesome bro, did you lower the back end yourself ? Or what needs to be done to lower it ?

Awesome, doing that now

About 1.5 inches higher in the back. I wonder if I can even stack anything else on the front end because it’s already a spacer lift

I had the measurements from before and after lift. The Mopar lift gave 3 inch of lift to the rear. I figured the rear needed to go down 1.5 inches. I put the stock rear springs back in with 1 3/8 inch spacers. This put the stance at close to level. The rear remained slightly higher.

I wouldn’t stack spacers. Call Roughcountry and see if they have any suggestions.
