I put the illumina kit on about 4 month ago and notice that the rear end sits lower than front end. Did i do something wrong in the rear or what?

I have regular stuff in the trunk nad a sub in a box, but i dont think it makes the difference. Its not that heavy.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Every little bit of weight in the car makes a difference. There isn't that big a difference in height between the front and rear springs as it is.

^^^^^ agreed. I have the same kit and with a single 12 in sub in a box, my rear sat lower than the front. With the box gone, it's now even.

in stock form the rear sits lower, so its perfectly normal.

I'm doing the Illumina kit on Friday and did some baseline measurements on my SE Max 4x4. My current tires and rims 18's and 225_40's are basically the same diameter as stock and really bringing out that 4x4 look. From ground to wheel well top, I'm at 27 7/8" in the front and 28 1/4" in the rear or a 3/8" difference from front to back. Visually, it looks like more but the tape measure doesn't lie. Maybe it's that 3+" of wheel well gap. Anyway, if the Illumina kit takes away that ugly 4x4 gap, maintains a similar ride and sits with an approx 3/8" delta between front and back, I'll be happy.
