Am I imagining things, or is it slightly higher in the front? Or sitting on not quite level ground?

There seems to be a dip in the road back by the rear.
Mine still sits higher in the rear.
Not as much as it did stock, but still slightly.

Look at that nice shiny steering stabilizer shock.
I should take a pic of what mine looks like just over a year later
People still don't believe me when I tell them it's only a 4.5" lift.
That blazer shows you why.

Mine was slightly raked before I put the bumper and winch on it, now ever so slightly more raked.
I measured mine to see if I could fit in any of the covered parking downtown where I work,
it is exactly 7 feet at the tip of the 3rd brake light, the tallest portion of the cab.
After everything had settled for 6 months or so.
I got a 2x4, put it on the top of the light,
put a carpenters level on it and leveled it,
then measured from the bottom of the 2x4 to the ground.
7 feet, 0 inches.
Oh, all the covered parking is 6'8" or 6'10".

Clearance according to the sign at the entrance I use is: 7 feet. Looks like I'll probably pass on the bigger lift unless I decide to fight the street parking battle or change jobs, no matter how good yours and Blue's trucks look with that lift.

Pull up to work, hop out and let some air out of the tires.
Roll on in.
Work ends, roll on out.
Stop, fill up tires, proceed on your merry way.
