Got the rear leafs installed today. It sits better but I still think the rear needs to come up about 1.5-2".

I also got my sticker in the mail and installed.

I`d almost wait till the bumper /winch are on what do ya think 125 to 150lbs? Get someone that weight to stand on the front and see if it helps. Plus do you think the front springs will settle at all, They are new right?

Yeah they are new and the weight on the front will help especially considering the winch is in the back right now lol! I'm thinking I may just need to get new springs all together for the rear. The issue is that they are really close to the trailer hitch and have a bad angle to them. They would probably be fine but I want to do it right
