Brand new springs up front, 3 year old springs in the back...sounds like your stock rear springs have sagged a bit. At least, that's my guess.
Thanks for your reply! Think it could be the actual shock in the back?
The shock doesn't affect the ride height. It only affect how the springs bounce/rebound when you hit bumps, etc.
It's actually the opposite. The 17-18 trucks usually end up at the correct height, but the 19-20 trucks sometimes end up nose high. You can do a taller block in the rear or upgrade leaf springs with something like Icon or Deaver.
Really? Everywhere I’ve ever read, they say that the 19-20 may still have a little rake, because they only give 1.7” of lift. Interesting…
I put the same springs on my 19, and like you, I got more than 1.7 inches of lift. My front was just barely higher than the rear. I’ve since put Fox Factory Race Series shocks on, which brought the front down some. I just added a two tire chase rack , so I’m pretty level front to back but slightly lower on drivers side, fuel tank and my fat ass I reckon. New Deavers for the rear are in the near future for me.
LOL.. my drivers side is slightly lower than my passenger side, also. That I did just figure with the gas tank and always sitting on that side it just tends to lean to that side over time. My last truck did the same thing over time.. I also have the same thing as someone else here, with the steering wheel being just slightly off line at full rest. I’m wondering if I should have the front end calibrated by Ford. I’ve heard some other Raptor owners doing it after installing the new from springs, due to the live valve.
They recommend having a front end alignment after installing the springs. Any tire/ alignment shop should be able to do it . I did get an alignment after installing the Eibachs but to be honest I couldn’t tell the difference.
I did have a full alignment done. It didn’t really fix the steering wheel problem. I’m honestly not sure that the mechanic that did my springs was very experienced in doing trucks. He can with all sorts of recommendations, on custom muscle car builds, but when I asked him to install the Whipple Stage 1 Kit, & the Eibaches, he had a HUGE problem compressing the springs. He had to send them out to have them compressed. Honestly, I lost all confidence in him after that. Since then, I’ve been second guessing everything that seems off.
