is there something wrong with my lift kit?

[9140]

when i unload the front springs and let the tires hang in the air there is 13.5 inches from the top of the tire to the fender lip but when i put the "x" down there is only 10.75 inches. the spring are new, do they need to be worn in?

your suspension needs to have up travel, how else is it going to absorb bumps and stuff? if anything, over time they will wear in more

that sounds fine.. the tires should never be the same loaded as unloaded.... unloaded the vehicle isnt supporting 2500 pounds......

i just thought there should be compressed more loaded but guess its going to be ok

everything is still new, it will settle once you drive it for awhile and all the newness wears off
