Default How much settling on a new lift kit

Just had a rc 3.5" series 2 installed and noticed after a week the rear is over a inch lower then the front. Its a 2dr with stock bumpers and no rear seat,does this sound normal?

Just curious, I was looking into this same lift. How much lift did you end up with at first and what did it settle down to?

I measured with the lift and 35's I measured about 5.25" front and rear,now I'm about 4" in the rear. I think I'm gonna take the wheels off and see what I m got from just the lift. Other then that the ride is very much like stock.Click image for larger version

Really? That's a lot of settling.

I got a Tf 4" and haven't had any sag. I measured from the stock tire to the lip of my fender...I've had it for a month or two.

I installed the rc 2.5 lift with the same results. I ended up installing teraflex 1" rear spacers now sits level.

forget that, you shouldnt have to spend additional money to get the lift you originally thought you were buying.
