Installed leveling springs today now the front of the truck is 1" higher than the rear. Anyone know how much if any i can expect the springs to settle?
The other possibility is that the rear leafs have flattened out a lot from new. Anyone know the distance from the center of the rear axle to the fender?

 

A signature would help us help you. I use Don Thuren's HD adjustable rear shackles to dial in the proper leaf spring height.

Working on getting my signature to show up. Until then 2004.5 4x4 short box ext cab 35x12.5 x17 bf Goodrich T/A KO 2 tires

 

'Ya got it!

 

As a quick cheap fix could I add a 1/2 spacer between the leafs and the axle. Looks simple and easy anything I am overlooking?

 

I have the HD coils for my 3500 2wd, been on for over 25,000 miles and are awesome. I little stiffer than the original springs, but they are considerably larger in diameter. I couldn't do the Sumos because my right spring was almost 3" lower than the left.

 

I went the same route after installing the Carli kit which left the front sitting what appeared to be high. I have the Thurens installed in the highest setting and the truck sits perfect now.

 

To answer the original question... no; do not expect to see any settling of the front springs to make up the difference.
