Question about 2 inch suspension lift?

I bought a tuff country suspension lift with shocks and i noticed that the rear leaf springs were arched higher then the front and it was marked 4 inch rear leaf springs and then the front was marked 2 inch front leaf springs..the company we bought it from said thats what comes in a 2 inch lift kit but i was wondering if its gonna look bad cause of the rear end being up high or will it even out? Thanks!

Re: Question about 2 inch suspension lift?

the back of trucks are always higher stock. so when you load the bed it doesnt bottom out. Its only these hot rodders who have to have it level

Exclamation Re: Question about 2 inch suspension lift?

Don't know anything about your truck (is it even a 4 WD?, no info listed here), but if you want 2" of lift front and back (level), and you are using leaf spring packs, you need to order the 2" leaf packs for the front, and the 4" leaf packs for the rear. It's because the leaf spring mounts on the rear of the truck are on the side of your frame rather than under it.

Tuff Country worked out the arch and spring load rates to make it work.

Good Luck with your project.
