Bought a jk with a 4" lift already installed. What's weird to me is that it doesn't appear level. The front still seems lower than the rear. Is that typical for lifts? Would I still be able to put a leveling kit in with the lift?

 

Depends on the lift, some lifts seem to keep the factory rake. You can add a coil spacer to the front to level it out.

 

Oh and welcome to the forum! Got pics of your jeep?

 

Also do you have some new driveshaft installed because the stock ones may get in the way with 4" lift

 

I'm not sure what ya mean about the driveshafts.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try and get some pics posted soon. I've already done a good handful of things to it myself now. I've also figured out its time for some aftermarket front lower control arms to help with the loose steering.

The coil spacers shouldn't require any additional mods should they? I mean is it possible that it would change the geometry enough to require replacement of other things?

 

1. the lift is of 4 inches. anything over 2 inches would require
the angles of the driveshaft to be adjusted to keep the universals
from pinching.

2. you bought it with loose steering.... does it have a death wobble?
look to see if the track arms are tight in their mounting points and check
to see if your steering wheel is aligned with your wheels...if not, you
need to address these issues first.

3. the coil spacers go on top of your springs. No additional mod are
needed to install them. to level Your Jk use 1-3/4 inches in the front
only.

 

Thx bone.....no death wobble.... So I'm pretty sure its the caster...wish I knew what kit was used just for my own sake.

Not bein a jerk but how do you know it needs the 1 3/4 spacer without knowing more about the lift?


Thx again guys. Lifts is the one spot on the jeep I know very little about.

 

How much lower does the front sit than the back? Are you planning on adding bumpers, winches etc?

 

Yeah I realize the added weight on the front down the road will make it sag more. I might wait for the spacers for a little while until I get it fully loaded. Right now the front end is stock except for the hi-lift I mounted on the hood.

Really I was just wondering why a lift would leave the front end lower. No biggie now since apparently that can be a norm. Thanks guys. Gonna figure out spacers/equipment now.
