Hi bumrussh., welcome....

Just a thought., you didn't super torque the rear spring & shackle bolts by chance..?

Did you measure the frame height B/4 installing the lift..? Meaning, is the back 5.5 higher than it was..?

It's poss. WH slipped in the wrong front coils in your kit by mistake.

Did you measure the front before & after..?

Don't feel bad., I didn't measure mine :blush: but I had no such issues.

Not to worry., it's all fixable.. :D/

WH will take care of you... >:D< <'>

Nothing is torqued down. Nuts are just hand tight. I had a 3.5 lift before and now it's almost 7 inches higher in the rear- 2 inches more from the lift (3.5 to 5.5) and an extra 4-5 inches from these BS springs. Not happy. It looks like a 70s drag car

You didn't say... did you get the 11pak leafs..?

On mine., they flex great., give a super ride., & sit level.... & I don't have a H-top.

Whatever the prob. .., they will take care of you. They do these lifts in-house on a daily basis with no issues...

Do keep us posted as to the problem if you would...

yes 11 pak leafs. i called wild horses a couple of weeks ago and the guy said they have to settle and it could take up to a year. 4 inches??? yeah right. why are they so high? i have built plenty of cars and motorcycles to know that there is something wrong.

As we suggest with all on this board...,

Fill-in your profile & signature pages in order to rec. quality help.

Otherwise it's just a guessing game., as you can see.

Put everything you know 'bout your rig., stock, mods, etc. It automatically shows on every post & can be up-dated. (see at the bottom of my post)

Pics are very helpful with an issue like this as well.. <):)

(Could poss. spot something) :unsure:
