AFter I replaced all my shocks with Bilsteins, the front appears to sit a bit higher. IT seemed quite level before the swap but now it looks kinda like I got lifted in the front. Will this eventually settle out or should I start looking for rear springs? I haven't measured but the difference in the distance between the top of the tire and fender is about 1.5 - 2 inches. Has anyone else experienced this after changing to bilsteins?

 

Mine had some very bad sag untill I replace my OEM springs with Downey

 

I thougt saggy rears were only effecting mostly 96's. Guess not. How much are OME rear springs roughly? Cheaper or more expensive than new 3rd gen rear springs?-thanks

 

I did this a long time ago but are you 100% sure you didn't get the Adapter (Silver Aluminuim looking thing at the bottom of the spring) upside down when you put the shock back into the spring assemby ? That would add about 1 or so inches to the front. Plus my 96 always had a slight rear sagg too, till I lifted it.

 

My rear end kept bottoming out when I had people in the rear seat. Its all fixed now with the pp springs!

 

I got a very slight lift in the rear when I went to Bilsteins...so it is possible. But your spring is more likely the culprit. It should settle over time a bit.
