The front springs play a roll in how the rear sits. Depending on how the springs are clocked in the perch, it can influence the rear ride height.

If you clock the front springs clockwise, it rotates more spring into the a arm perch. This will lift the opposite corner rear slightly. If you clock counter clockwise, it will lower the opposite corner. This will also influence the front gaps a bit as well.

Of course, obviously this is a a huge pita.


Rear springs are a joke...very easy to do. I can do them now without even pulling the rear tires off. Fronts are easy, most lowering springs can done without compressor although when I did the Mach 1 springs on my fox...I had to get creative

why do that when you can put the stock springs back in the car and have a 4x4 lol

the springs will settle down though...when i first put my sportlines in the car still looked stock height....then over time it slammed itself into it really nice stance
