Need some suspension / lift guidance please

[dragonnuts]

So at first I did a lift with fox coilovers in the front and I used spacers in the rear, quick answer why I was only going to do a spacer lift and than a friend got me a deal and than I went down the rabbit hole and started buying other shit and I just said fick it I'm doing the lift. Well it kept a nice squat on my bronco, so I bought coilovers for the rear(pro comp 2.5 vsrt) and we leveled it out. Before we left the shop where I rented out the hoist from it measured out on every tire to a mm. But bow it settled and I measured it and its not the same, I took some pics of the gap from the top of the tire to the fender flare. The pictures are close but shit is hard to take holding a tape and snapping a Pic, but they are close to actual when I was just holding the tape and no camera. My question is if I make adjustments will it settle again and ill be going back and forth or will it stay after the adjustments

Assuming Same angle in each pic, you are talking about an 1/8th of an inch. It will vary more than that as you add/burn fuel. You’re overthinking it.

Leave it alone for a couple hundred miles to let everything settle then make your adjustments. Once everything is settled you should be good.

I measured with no phone in my hand and those numbers are pretty much what I got being as close as I can.

Also took your advice and installed that when I did the rear shocks

Howdy, measure from the center of the hub to the fender. Then subtract the measurements front and rear. You will then have the amount of rake. It’s good to have some rake (1/2 or little more) on the vehicle to put weight on the front tires for cornering and stability. If you have a ton of overland cargo you may want more rake so when you load vehicle it isn’t riding nose high.
