Lift the rear or drop the front??? Need option???

Just sas'ed it and with 5inch lift from TG.. It looks high in the front about 2-3 inches higher from rear. I was told to get NON HD leafs so it would sag to 4 inch, but it pretty off.. Should i use smaller shackles up front and longer shackles in the rear? Rear has a pro comp 4 inch lift with downey shackles, it seem to be the same size as the TGs.. Dont really feel like i should mess with rear as it may effect drive line also. Really wanted to keep it cost effective..lmk your ideas....

The front will settle when the leaves break in. If your too impatient, take a leaf out.

The problem is the rear lift is new and hasn't settled. The rear is PC and probably has or was shorter than advertised.

Patience or swap rear lift.

rear lift has been on the car for many many months... so its settle for some time now.. was really hoping the TG would settle so i dont have to spend more $ than i already have. i was told about adding a 8" shackles or add a block.. really hate the idea of a blocks... Shackles i can see why, but at 8", is that safe..
