Nose High
Put a 4" Rough Country Kit on my Truck, All spring. Initially it was over 2.5 inches high, took out the bottom leaf on both springs still 1.75 high. Truck rides great, am very surprised. Been riding 2 weeks, no settling.
Suggestions? Are the 1.75 Blocks? Really don't want to lower the front. |

Re: Nose High
Takes a little longer than a couple of weeks to settle. Even more for rough country springs. I've had mine on for a few years now and I can't say they settled much at all. If you put 4 springs on and they don't match I'd have to wonder if they gave you the correct springs for the rear.

Re: Nose High
I don't know what difference 1/4" would make,but you can get 2" blocks.

Re: Nose High
Actually, the rears were right at 4" lift, the fronts were crazy high. Think I will go with 1.5, in case the fronts sag a bit.

Re: Nose High
The mian reason is pre-made springpacks are built based on PickUp weight specs not Blazers so buttsag is common unless you buy custom built packs or mix and match like I did. I ran 5.5"rear & 4" front and my rig sat level with the hard top on. With it off I had a bit of 'stinkbug' but that is better than a saggybutt hahaha
Add a small block too the rear, like ORD 1" ZeroRates
