front end

[BigRed96]

I installed a 4" suspension lift on my 96 Bronc and the front sits about 1-2" lower that the back. What gives? What do I need to do to get the front even w/ the back?

What brand of kit did you install? My rough country lift only had a 3" block for the rear with 4 inch coils up front to supposedly level the Bronco. It actually left the rear lower in the rear by about 1/2". Look at the individual part numbers for the parts they gave you and make sure they are the correct parts. They may have only given you leveling coils rather than 4" lift coils for the front.

I will agree that all lift kits are not created equal. Some brands give more or less lift than advertised, and often need adjusting to level the ride/stance. If your front is LOWER than the rear, you can try a shorter block height or remove a leaf spring in the rear. If the front is HIGHER than the back, you can try a taller block or use an AAL (add-a-leaf). I would recommend adjusting the stance ONLY at the rear axle, NOT the front coils. While some front coils can sag after break-in or over time, I do not suggest any type of spacers up front to adjust the height. On my Skyjacker 6" kit with lifted rear spring packs, the front was HIGHER. I added a 1" block in back to level the ride and correct the rear driveshaft-pinion angle. That angle should be zero or as close to 0 as possible, and a shim or tapered block may be needed when installing a lift kit or altering the ride height.
