Hey fellas,

I'm running a fabtech coil bucket with 4" procomp springs out front.

I installed some JBG j40's a few weeks ago, along with extended camburg shackles, and the rear still way higher than the front.

looking for opinions/experience. Do you think they will settle and level out? Should I do a front spacer? Move to 6" coil?

Starting to think maybe the fabtech buckets are a little taller than the factory buckets causing the front to sit lower.

I had the same issue with my Deaver Q80s. I had my fab shop remove the pinion wedge and OEM spring perches and install a set of low profile spring perches from Rocktactics. It did the trick.

Thanks Chris!

You could also load the truck up and take it for a good couple of runs. That should help it settle before you make other changes. It'd suck to go new perches and remove the wedge only to find out it sits butt low after settling.

J40’s are a tall spring - lowering the perches and ditching the wedge should be just part of the kit truthfully!

I have a set of J40s with 2” taken out by deaver if you want to trade. They are in really good shape, almost new. I’m in Colton, Ca

Thanks for the help guys. Going to try loading her up as this pic the bronco is completely empty and no spare tire.

Thanks for the offer on the trade but shipping would kill us haha.

Even the regular Q80s sit a little high. It’s not a “lift kit” it’s a long travel suspension that is designed for a bronco that is outfitted for the desert. Full-size spare tire, cooler, camping gear, cage, recovery gear. It all adds a lot of weight. It’s not going to sit level unloaded, driving to the grocery store. If you go with springs in the rear to sit level when driving around town, unloaded, it isn’t going to sit level off-roading. It’s just the nature of the beast. If I recall correctly the J40 is meant for a 5.5” lift also.
