Default 5100 Height Issue

I just had Bilstein 5100 installed on front and rear on my 2016 F150 4x4 at my local shop. I had 2 inches of rake to the front with the stock shocks. I had the installer set the front at 1.75" and now that I have the truck back the front is 3/4" higher then the rear. I have no idea why this is occurring. Thanks for any tips!

Sounds like they set them at the wrong height.. Some little shops around me don't listen either.

What wheel spacers are you running? Did you even up having to trim any of the studs or do the wheels have pockets in the back of them?

Did they get the spring perch upside down? This could add a couple extra inches up front.

I went with these on amazon:
Amazon Amazon

No trimming, they have a lip on the back of them that fit with the OEM rims I have perfectly.
