I did trim the bump stops but probably didn't need to honestly.
I don't remember the exact difference in measurement. It was 2 to 2-1/2" different. The kit brought me down to about 1/4" from dead level with the front.
The kit that I used is a lowering kit from McGauheys. It's shorter springs to lower the rear to level with the front. It will not void any warranties as far as I know unless they can prove that the new springs indeed caused the problem.
It's purely cosmetic but it makes it look far better in my opinion. Obviously lifted is more than just cosmetic as it provides better ground clearance when off road.
Let us know what you find. I'm sure most people don't really even check the numbers after the install. Mine sits dead level after it has settled but I used the McGuaghy's level kit.
My thoughts would be that one of two thugs is happening. 1. The spring isn't seated perfectly in the spring bucket on that side (Not likely) 2. The springs could just need to settle. It usually takes a few (3-4 days) to settle to where they will stay. When did you do the install?
The install is very straightforward. I did one side at a time due to not having a lift. Get a good floor jack and jack stands. That's all you really need. It's literally 6 bolts.
The ride quality hasn't changed much at all from what I can tell. I would suggest this to anyone who is looking for...
According to the instructions that came with the kit the linkage simply get bent to a specific dimension that they provide. They even have a diagram that is in the actual size to match up to.
