Spring Height Advise - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

So I did my SOA with RE SOA springs. They gave me the heavy packs for the rear and not for the front. Well I didn't factor in the 8.8 was a bigger diameter in the rear so it sits almost 2in higher in the rear than the front. I want it to sit even and really don't want to do a shackle lift in the front. Any suggestions?

Switch the spring arround.

Hey, never really thought about that. Thanks.

Option 2 - Take one leaf of the rear.

Option C - Add one leaf to the front.

I could take one off the rear or swap them but I won't gain the 2" i'm missing. I might just buy bigger lift springs for the front.
