Installed my Ironman lift over the weekend and I'm loving it for the most part, but I'm having an issue with front ride height.
For starters, I bought the kit off a guy from Craigslist for $300. It has never been installed, no scratched paint, bands still on the rear shocks. I double checked the numbers on the springs and they all matched JBA's website. Didn't see any numbers on the shocks to check, but they matched the pictures at least.
I added a 1/4" top plate up front, and an extra upper iso in the rear. In the rear I'm right at 22.5" hub to fender, so I'm good there. Up front I'm only at 20.5" - I was thinking I should have been closer to 22-22.5", right? Is it possible I have the correct springs, but the shock is too short??
Anybody have any thoughts? I'm not too crazy about the amount of rake, and would like it an inch higher in the front. I don't have any rubbing, so that's good. Plus it seems like the front coils are too close together (see pic)
I love how it rides, wont be doing any ******** wheeling with it, but I'm just worried I have a pair of front springs that are no good. I dont mind throwing on some clevis rings, but I'm worried something isn't right with the springs...
Any thoughts? I'm really frustrated here - I literally spent hours and hours researching everything and here I am with a problem, lol...
Install was a snap, started at 9 am and was driving by 530 pm and that includes the time for the shop to mount the tires and do an alignment.

The spacing between the top of the clevis and the bottom of the isolator flange doesn't look right...
