The rear leafs do take a while to settle. Mine is sitting at around 4" of lift on the rear end

is it this bad??

if not don't worry. the rear will drop soon enough

[vitman]

Christ isn't that bad lol did that ever settle ?

took a leaf out of the custom spring pack at the back, down to 8" (from around 12/14") and put 2" more in the front - up to 6.5"

A couple of bags of cement in the back for a few hundred miles does wonders. If no good you can stack spacers or spring isolators at the front. I prefer higher at the back - always gives loading room for French booze runs and family camping trips

second hand lift kits are always an unknown when fitting to another vehicle. be wary of differences in the front as this will affect the way the car tracks when under heavy braking

right i have ran this round now and not settling i wil get picture up on here  morrow and was wandering cause i got 3.5 lift im running standard anti roll bar links would that make any height issues i think it wont i need to sort cause dont like it dipping at the front.cheerrs for replies so far

Can you disconnect front links and try that? Give the Jeep a run around the block and see how it settles? Do you do many road miles? I've run lifted cherokee's with no anti roll bar links, no probs or get extended links, llama 4x4 has them...

You did leave all the leaf bolts loose until the Jeep was resting on its wheels again didn't you ?
