When i installed the springs & shocks i set the shock adjustment in the middle and it was terrible, as in it shook the crap out of me.

I have since put them on the softest setting they are good now.

Compared to 10 year old standard they have a rougher ride but nothing that was not expected.
The set up now actually corners & brakes better now. With the old standard shocks the car would rock noticeably in stop and start traffic.

I am happy with the ride.

What i am not happy with is the height of the front.
It is much lower than the rear.

Is this normal??

I want to put some 1 inch spacers on the front springs to level the car out a bit. Will this cause any issues with the geometry etc??

Need some advise please..

Not sure why i have bothered with this forum.

I posted up some pics and some questions to learn about Jeeps.

Wanted to see if it was worth my time to do a proper photo install post
with all of my mods.

No answers and Virtually help, so i give up.

I supported the forum by calling the sponsors, no return phone calls and when i call they mostly do not answer their phone.

I am not talking about 1 call i am talking about many to one sponsor. left voice mail, left message via the young lady that answered the phone etc.

However Blackjack welding has been awesome. I will be purchasing a few more items from them in a few weeks

I ask you guys for help because all the workshops i know just laugh when i mention Jeep.

Most disappointed

I'm no expert man but that's the purpose of spacers as far as I know. Don't know how much you alloy bar weighs (I guess not much being alloy) but yeh spacers are for leveling out the car. Really though, the springs shouldn't sag that bad

Just a question my disappointed friend, did you loosen all the suspension control arm bolts, track bar bolts prior to lifting & then re-tightening once the lift kit was fitted & back on it's wheels? Did your transfer case drop kit come with a bracket to re-position the transfer case linkage? If you are happy at that height overall, a pair of coil spacers will be fine to level it. Or keep your eyes on the the for sale section as good, used gear comes up all the time. You will need to learn patience if you want to stay sane in a Jeep too.
