I waited over 4 weeks for the FT 3" Premium to come in and finally got it installed this week. I am disappointed that the front end is so much lower than the rear. It comes out to 1.5" difference from front to back in between the wheels, more from bumper to bumper. Why is this? Everything is dialed in correctly. It rides well and no ESP issues, but looks funny and while driving it feels much more sloped than stock. I would think the front springs should be a bit longer, or the rear shorter, since my installer said, "it's about a 4.5" rear lift." If I had known it was going to be this much of if a difference, I would have gotten the RE 3.5", which looks even. Will the rear settle?

My jeep is an Unlimited X with soft top, but he installed the same lift on a Unlimited Rubicon with a hard top and it looked the same, with the same complaint from his customer, so it isn't a weight issue.

I am planning to put a AEV front bumper with a Warn winch, so I assume the problem will be much worse after that, and may even cause rubbing issues. I see that there are a few people on the forum with spacers in the front, or that have replaced the front springs, so I would like some input as to what to do with the front considering the bumper and the winch. Also, why did FT provide their lift this way? It seems more logical the have the front higher than the back, considering a heavier bumper and winch. They should at very least warn that you need to use a front spacer to fix the the issue.

 

Had to put 3/4 spacers in the front on mine then installed the front bumper still a little high. Then the rear bumper and than did it level now.
