Let the new suspension settle for a few weeks- 2 months max. The way our suspension is designed stock it has a slight rake. When some springs are put on it makes it seem like the back is lower then the front. Pretty typical with springs that drop the same height front and back. Mine looked like that for about 2 weeks after I dropped mine. Just let it settle itself in and you should be good. Just dont cut the springs.

If all else fails you might contact a commercial spring shop. They typically service heavy trucks and may be able to help re-configure your rear springs.

Good Luck!

Spring spacers will raise the rear approximately 3/8" and stiffen it slightly.

you could do some water-hose or similar hose on the spring on each end. not only will it stop squeaks but it will also raise vehicle a little. not much or anything significant but it will raise. you could also go on the self help aisle in autozone or similar and find some spring spacers....get the small ones. they twist in using 1/2" square driver. it's a rig job i know, but they're like 10 bux for 4 of them...

Just saw this. I run the "compressed spring clamp" on the front springs to lower my DF210's a little. Works great but you will (of course) get a little more bounce.
