why? re: lifts
 

I was wondering why lifts are many time higher in the front than in the
rear? For example a 4" lift has a 3" rear and a 4" front.

I need to replace my rear and have a 4" lift. Do I get a 4" rear (hard to
find), or do I get a 3" or 3 1/2"?

Thanks,
Curt

Re: why? re: lifts
 

All the lifts I have worked with are the same front and rear. I would get an
RE 4.5" lift for your rear. It will sit up at 6" or so until you break it in
if its leaf sprung back there and when you load up with gear you might just
be perfect.

Re: why? re: lifts
 

usually they are the same, however, for example, a TJ with a hard top will sit higher
in front than in back. put a winch on the front and it evens out. toss a soft top
on and its nose down. also springs that are brand new and not broken in yet will
ride higher until they break in.
