Default Is this normal?

I just got a 4" lift installed and it has a big lean towards the back.



It's not quite as bad as it looks in the picture because the stock tires were in the back.

But still it has lean to it, I had the shop look at it and they said it was just the way the fenders look and the spare tire on the back weighing it down. Anyone know what's up with it?

What lift did you install? Most manufacturers take into consideration the added weight of a heavy front bumper and winch, so if you just have the stock bumper, that could explain your high front end.

Yeah, it's a procomp (might be the problem) and a stock bumper.

Daystar or Teraflex 3/4 spacers should do the trick until you can afford some weight up front.

That may be the route I take. I'll take it to a different shop though, I don't know how much I trust them anymore, lol.

Hmm. That figures, it must have been the installer.
