Hi, now that more than a year has passed, do you think the front suspension sits a bit lower? Do you have any rake, or is it perfectly leveled?
Still sits level, but with a heavy weight in the rear, it squats a tiny bit. My remedy for that is Air Bags, which I am installing soon.

Thanks for the info and your contribution to the community. I commented on one of your YouTube videos yesterday and got a quick response. Can you tell us more about how airbags work, and why not just replace the rear springs with stronger ones instead?

Thanks, what I like about airbags compared to HD springs is the adjustability. With HD springs, you are usually at a constant rake towards the front, which puts excessive wear on your front brakes and contributes to nose diving. With air bags, you just run about 8 psi in them daily, and more when hauling a load. The PSI can easily be adjusted. Springs are permanently fixed.

Hey! Apologies for such a late reply, mine sits pretty level as far as I can tell. I also don't tow anything ever or have anything heavy in the car for a long period of time. So could be part of the reason it stayed level?

Some claim that the front suspension sits lower after settling due to the engine weight and the fact that the front is generally heavier than the rear. That doesn’t seem to be the case here. I usually prefer a slight rake, where the rear sits just a bit higher.
