So I just installed my RC 2.5" coil lift. Love it so far, got plenty of clearance and is the exact hight I wanted. Ride great and installed it in 2 hours.
The only thing is, its a little higher up front.. Can you guys tell. The only thing I can think of is because its a 2012 and the front end is lighter due to the smaller engine. I netted a total lift of 3.25 in the front and 2 in the rear from stock.

It looks to me like it has just leveled it out for you. Check the height from the ground to the frame (where it's not curved) and see if it's the same now for the front and rear. It might be a little off, but I'd bet not much. The leveling kit I had before my lift was 1" higher in the front.

Its just weird. Usually the rear is higher than the front on these RC 2.5" lifts.
Im not worried about it. You cant really tell unless you stare at it.

Just finished mine a few hours ago also, if it wasnt for the rear wheel to fender you wouldnt really see the difference. Thats how mine turned out also. Same RC 2.5 coil lift. Still looks awesome. Ill post some of mine tomorrow morning so we can compare.

Pictures dont do justice as to how much lift I actually got. And Ya I measured floor to bottom of the frame front and back and the front is only 1/4 inches higher. But ya your right. A front bumper will do the trick!!!
