Front “lift”

Probably have to cut them to get results you want.

Re: Front “lift”
they should settle after some driving around. i would wait to cut anything for awhile. also, did you make sure that they are indexed correctly?

Re: Front “lift”
Definitely wait, they will drop some, but probably not as much as you want. You have a 2.8, did you get correct springs for that weight class....?
