It sounds like they might have put the front springs in the rear and vice versa There was some discussion when I had mine done about which one fit the rear and which one's fit the front. If it doesn't look right to you, there's probably something wrong. Good Luck Pics???

We've sold and installed many already, with no problems, maybe you should ask whoever you bought them from for some advice. Maybe they are defective. This is definitely a possibility.

1st the front looks like it's almost higher than stock.??
2nd the rear looks like my DF210's??

I would get that thing to Scottsdale Lex as soon as possible, before it does some damage. Ask for Rick, He will take care of you

Holy smokes man that doesn't look right. Here are some pix of mine:

I know that it supposed to lower the fronts 1 and the back 1.3 or something like that. Mine looks a little lower in the front.

Does the shop know what it's doing?

You really should take this to a qualified place and let them fix it. There really shouldn't be any need for you to ask questions about it - they should know what to do. If not you should find someone who does and let them fix it.
