JBA 4" lift had a measurement of 24" from the rear wheel center to the fender. Looks crazy high. Will this settle? How much lift did I net? Is the front adjust-a-strut a direct adjustment? So if I need my front to go up 3" do I crank the adjusting nut down 3"?

Dare I say that I think I could have been happy with a 2.5" kit?

4"=23"
5"=24"

It will settle. Mine settled down to far. Throw some weight in the back.

For the front, crank them down until you feel its there. I dont know what height you are in the front.

We need more info really. Do you have the 4" lift or the 2.5" lift and what height are you trying to get to?

Take the spring out.....whats the overall height of the spring. That will tell me alot. Since i have had a few JBA rear springs come this way

What all do you have in the rear , just springs and stock isolators or what ?
My 4 inch JBAs settled to 23.75 of course with the loadleveler shocks
Front you don't crank them down 3 inches, all depends on the weight etc. Some testing is required crank down , bounce drive , readjust
took me a couple of days to get mine fine tuned where I wanted it
Of course wanted perfect on both sides/ front-rear and side to side

I have the JBA 4" springs with the 5100 Bilsteins. The spring isolators are OE. It was all in a JBA kit purchased about 2 years ago. I think it was the sliver package, but it's been so long ago now, I don't remember.
