I have a FT 3"econ lift, after about a week had past since installed, it has lowered in front about an 1" and a half. It was normal looking "LEVEL" when I first installed it. Whats up guys?

My Fulltraction Lift is doing the same. I thought it's cause I added a bumper and winch though. :sad:

My brother has a TJ Rubicon with a FT LA kit and his springs sagged too, now he has RE springs on it with no problems.

I was hoping to hear FT would have worked this out on the new JK kits :confused:

Did you take actual measurements before and after? Mine looks different every day, depending on where it is parked and the slope I am on. And I am talking a slight slope like the kind you need a level to really tell, like your garage floor, etc. You really can't go only by what you thought because the mind adjusts over time with new imputs. Like for instance, how many people think their vehicles run better after an oil change, etc. You gotta have measurements I tell ya!

New springs will settle... Fact of life. Usually it takes 2-6 weeks for them to fully settle. Im guessing the front weighs a little more or get hammered more during driving causing the front to level sooner. give it another month and see if the rear doesn't come on down.

Time for some spacers! All lifts sag after a few months.
