    Hey everybody, so I just installed the eibach pro lift kit on my truck. I installed at the bottom setting which provides 2.5" of lift. I only have the front coilovers installed at the moment, but here is a before and after.

    I did my measurements and I did in fact achieve 2.5" of lift, however, my stock rear suspension is still slightly taller. The truck just doesn't feel 2.5" taller either. Anyone have any ideas of what happened?

    I took a pic of my UCA angle and it hadn't really changed much either. I feel like it should have more of a steeper angle than that.

    It's taller by 2.5 where the wheel is and decreases until you get to the 0 point at the rear that you did not lift. The rear is the fix point now. Your tailgate open measurement to the ground is probably .5 to 1 inch lower now too. Rear wheel is the axis point.

    That makes sense. But lifting it 2.5" in front, I feel like it should have been taller In the end in relation to the back. My before measurements actually showed I had a 2.5" rake, which should be 2" rake, right? I'm thinking my front suspension must have been shot or something like that.
