[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 759712, member: 1384"] Oh, in your original post you said it was in 4wd. In 2wd Low (rear low) and holding the brakes, I guarantee the front brakes are holding and the rears are not (gear reduction is letting it drive through the brakes) and its essentially trying to drive over the front suspension. You said the front links were all at an angle so it makes sense that it would lift. If you could at least get your upper link flat and drop your lower links to where they are flatter, it will help and be better overall. But it's always going to jack the frontend when you're holding the brakes. If you've never driven a rig with coilovers or airshocks, they act a lot different than regular coils or leafs, in that they have spring rate throughout the entire shock travel (ie they are always trying to extend). Most vehicles with leafs or standard coils only have a few inches till the springs go neutral from ride height. Unless you plan on driving around in 2wd low, I wouldn't worry about it, and see how it acts in 4wd. [/QUOTE]
