Would this give me a bit of a lift in the rear end when unloaded(1/2"-1") ? I want get rid of a bit of a sag in my 1994 GMC Sierra K2500? Thanks

I think so...it depends on how much you torque on the adjustment nuts. I think it raised the "empty" height of my 2011 F150's bed using factory torque specs for towing heavy loads.

I put them on my wife's 1500 and it raised it about 1". If your spring are sagging from age it might do the trick.

it did raise the rear end about 1" i set it to the max for towing heavy loads.

Any time u add air it will lift the rear regardless of load. the only thing is when there is no load the suspension is a lot stiffer. I usually ride with 15lbs it gives u lift but still rides good. I never go over 45lbs. 50 is the max better safe than sorry & I tow a really heavy trailor no problem

I have had no problems with my front end. After installing the Quick lift, I brought the truck to Sears and my alignment was spot on. I enjoy the height and I am currently looking for blocks and shocks for the rear end to bring back the factory rake.

Couldn't really tell you but you may want to talk to a mechanic that deals with truck lifting good luck

Stays a bit lower on our king quad atv can lift and can dump into cart. Use it mostly to move mulch, dirt and manure around our hobby farm. Did have to put a jack under the the mounting bracket with bucket full of dirt and tighten. Otherwise the bucket when full will drag, also to shovel dirt buy the teeth to add on.

I have a heavy I have a heavy RV and only using 40% of the capacity of the air lift system I level out with ease. I'm certain you would appreciate a great improvement in ride and handling. Probably the best towing accessory I've ever bought.

It depends on the kind of lift already installed. The stock suspension can't handle more than 2.5 inches of lift, so maybe this could replace the other lift, but not add to it.

If your trunk is lowered already it will only bring up the height of the rear. You may want to look at an Air ride suspension (air bags).

On my 88 xj, I got a total of 4". My stocks were old, jeep was unloaded. If I measured while loaded with about 500lbs of crap back there, then yeah I would've had about a 5-5.5" gain. Good springs, worth the money and also don't sag like sticks when you have rear passengers...

i don't know about it lifting the rear but mine dropped by 2 to 3 inches. But i'm happy with the ride , just a slight difference from the old air suspension system.

I got a 2012 GMC Sierra crewcab short bed and it didn't seem to affect the ride at all. Maintained stock feel. I had a localShop install and align it.

Not at all. I would estimate the weight at 60#. I wondered about that too when I installed mine but did not notice any appreciable difference in the way my truck handled or the front end being lower.

I agree with Bob. It takes up very little room. It is not much bigger than the post itself. Most of the motor is from bottom to top. I have more than enough room to remove my propane covers behind the lift. It is not in the way of my tailgate like the manual jack was because the handle would hit the tailgate when it was opened. I have no regrets. I would say buy it. You won't be sorry.It is a snap to install it.

I have a 2006 F-250 SD King Ranch with 20 inch tires on stock rims. It is not lifted. It bolted right on and works great. Took any and all wobble out at any speed. Drive on the interstate at 80MPH all the time. No problems for me.

I have a 2014 JK with a 2.5" lift. My front and rear shocks are both 21" installed. Should have no problem with your needs. BTW, best shocks I've ever owned! Replaced some Rough Country shocks that made my Jeep ride like a tractor. Took about 2 weeks of adjusting the shocks and tire pressure to find the perfect mix.

I don't notice any difference in ride (unloaded). For me, my minivan handles the same as before--it just no longer sags with a load in the back.

The rear of my '97 now appears a little higher than the front, though I wouldn't say 4 inches. With the airbag suspension the rear would "kneel" when you park for ease of loading, but with the kit it is up where it can take a cargo load on the road. The tops of my bumpers measure close to the same height from the ground now. Did you get the front shocks installed at the time the rear springs were installed? Even if the existing shocks were still good, that is a good idea and will affect the stance. Did you put a 4x2 kit on a 4x4 truck? That would definitely mess up the stance. Possibly you got so used to seeing it sitting down on it's haunches that the rear just looks too high now? Folks on the Ford forums might have more info, some of them are techs with a lot of experience. Just a note, I got mine last April and still like them even if my truck rides like a truck now instead of a car.
