Default Does your kit sit like this????

I posted a thread on this earlier this week. I installed this kit last Saturday. I have seen some of these kits that sit close to level. It sits two inches lower in the front than in the rear. I measured from the front of the rock guard and the rear of the rock guard. The rear measures 22 inches and the front measures just under 20 inches. It is the TF 2.5 inch kit with coils and shocks. I am posting the pics to see what you guys think. Please let me know. I dont know if it is suppost to have a stance like this. I have been told yes and also been told no.. I am trying to figure out what I need to do here. Here is the link.

I would hope that's not how it's supposed to look. I'm sure TF will help you get it sorted out.

No the coils are in the right spot. The wider springs go in the front, right? Just kidding. I have been asked that but no the springs are in correct. There are no spacers in just the factory dampener. Thats it. Thanks.

For comparsion, I just measured my co-workers new stock 09 Rubi Unlimited at the rails. From the bottom of the front of the rail 17.5" and the rear 18.5". His also has the tow package on it and is still running stock coils.

When the silver 4dr rubi with the 2.5" kit gets here today, I'll take some measurements of it's coils to compare to yours. It's the one from pics I sent you the link on.

would I be better off to put a 3 inch spring in the front? Do I need to put a spring spacer up front to get it to improve the front?

So that's 1" difference for Joe's co-worker but over 2" for yours. Definitely sounds like something's off there!
