First Post Need help with suspension
Hi
I have been registered for awhile, but have been reading and lurking! I just installed Bilsteins all around, and my front end is 2 inches higher than my rear. I have searched on sagging, but I am wondering what is the best route to lift the back end 2 inches. Should I put 2 in spacers, or 4WD springs, or should I get after market lifted springs? I need it fixed soon, (I am in the Navy and will deploy soon). It's my wife's and I want it safe and fixed for her.
Thanks in Advance.

sounds like you put in the front springs in the wrong way. take a pic of it, esp the way the spring ends seat in the bottom cup thing (whatever the hell its called) and hopefully that will address your problem

Thanks for the replies. A little history, on the 4Runner...I have had it for a little over a year, it had Monroe Sensitrac's on before the Bils, the front 2 were blown out and of the back 2, 1 was leaking and the other was on it's way.
I can post pics tomorrow, but I don't think they are seated incorrectly. What is the stock ground clearance supposed to be?
Thanks Again

if you have stock shocks and they were level before the install, im guessing either you installed the fronts incorrectly or your shocks are not the right kind (small possibility). anyways, post a pic and hopefully we can help you there should be no reason why the fronts are 2" taller than the rear if it involves just a shock replacement
