    Hello everyone
    So I just put on my 5150
    With the ring on the highest setting and OME Heavy Springs front and back
    So my problem is My front is sitting an inch taller than my rear
    And my driver's side rear is sitting 3/4 of an inch taller then Passenger side rear
    And I'm not sure where to begin fixing this problem Help would be appreciated thank you.

    Welcome. After just lifting mine. You have to take in account for various other things. Like weight in the rear door the things you carry normally etc. And also most springs come unsprung/ tensioned so they will actually give you more lift than stated. I know you got the HD rear springs but still same scenario sometimes. Or maybe springs arent seated correctly.
    Plus you may have a shock issue somewhere. Maybe drivers front shock isn't compressing like it should. Or if an extra lift puck was put on it for the drivers side lean.
    Many things could be the issue. Have someone with experience get under there and scope things out before ripping it all apart again is my advice.

    Sounds like you set the ring one setting to high on the front and your rear springs might not be installed correctly.
