That's funny. I put on 2.5" Ranchero quick level struts in the front a few years back, then broke a rear spring. She road a little low in the back.....california lean?... I replaced both leaf springs with springs rated at 200 pounds more and then increased the block from a 2" to a 3"...now she almost looks lifted with a rake added back in..

I'll be replacing all the springs and shocks. Rancho quick lift in the front with moog HD springs. In the rear will be either heavier springs with a soft ride long AAL or skyjacker 4" lift springs with no block.

What size tires are you running? Did installing just the shocks allow you to keep a little of the rake?

Really? That has 3.5" in the front? Not being rude but I sure doesn't look like it. Maybe 1.5"?

Do they even make a 3.5" level for the front? As stated hundreds of times, anything over 2.5" is a suspension killer.

It has a 3" Leveling spacer and I put a 1" Knuckle in it just to see what it would look like... it only added about 1/2" of increased rise... it's not staying that way... just had it when i took the pic... the Actual kit was a 3" front, and a 2" rear... It sits ALOT taller than it looks in the picture... I will add more pics when i get my wheels and tires on. Still rides just as smooth as ever... no feelable change there...Sorry for any confusion... lol

There are a few companies out there that make a 3.5" kit...
