is it true a 5.5 inch lift the rear will be way higher

[comanche13]

i was told with a 5.5 inch lift will be 5.5 in the front and 6.5 in the rear. is this true? does it matter?

[bigd44889]

not sure but soa and 4.5 up front gives it a nice stance

but not leval

from what i have been told is to do the rear then see how much u need in the front

thay are all diff depending on what shape rear springs are in

if u do a soa i have been told u can get anywere from 4 to 6 inchs of lift

i git 5.5 when i did mine

Yea, it depends on what springs you are using in the rear. As already stated, the SOA can give anything from 5" to over 6" in the rear so it's typical to need 6.5" springs to keep it level as it should be. A stock truck may look OK with the back higher than the front, but a lifted truck just looks silly that way IMO.

As already stated going SOA in the rear will vary greatly on what leaf pack you have from the factory and the condition of them. You'll need a 6.5" coil for it to sit level and look good.

 

RE actually started including a front coil spacer with their 5.5" MJ lift about 8 months ago as the front coils were not tall enough.
