i just finished a SAS on my 88 toyota i went marlin everything with 5in springs. now that it is done my front end seems to be an inch or two higher than the rear. is this normal ? and will my front settle throught time?

probaly a bit from motor weight and flexing it.

usauly it's the rear i think. for the cargo weight that is going to be added. my rear 6 inch was taller in the rear.

is it a runner?

but is it normal for the front to be setting so much higher that the rear? with 5in marlin springs

i'm not sure cause the runners always sit low in the rear. if you are that woried about it give them a call.

are you sure you put the right spring packs in the correct spots rear in the rear and not the fronts in the rear???

JOE 88 · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 20, 2009, 08:45:23 PM »

ya i might. i mean everything looks great . the rear is just a little lower. i think that it is more of a picky visual thing . i don't think its going to affect any performance.

axled89 · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 20, 2009, 08:47:44 PM »

well cause the rear packs are thicker than the fronts. witch means the ride hieght is going to be different.
just make sure they are in the right spots.

JOE 88 · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 20, 2009, 08:48:24 PM »

y am sure i put them on right . they are marked front and rear.

ok. then did you relocate the shackle perches?? or change any mounting places??

JOE 88 · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 20, 2009, 08:56:33 PM »

yes i did. what i did is buy the comlete marlin sas kit and the full matching rear kit as well. and im sure that all the perches and shackle placemnts are in the correct spot. but i had a hard time getting the parts from marlin. so im wondering if they sent me 4in springs for the back and 5in springs for the front.

Are your shackles the same length? Hows your shackle angle?
