Default Front is higher than back

Hi All,

I have had my King superlows with Monroe GT shocks in for about 4 weeks now. They have settled fairly well so far with the back guard being over the rear tyre but the front is still fairly high.

What can be done to get the front lower without replacing the spring? or should i wait a little longer for the springs to settle even more.

Any info would be appreciated.

You might be able to get the front springs compressed (Professionally) just a little bit so it matches with the back. Im not 100% sure on that theory though. There are a couple of suspension places that compress springs, so it might be best to source out a place in your area that can help you.

Cheers
