Hi all. Some of you had seen my 2011 at the meet & greet in January. Sorry I can't figure out how to post pictures, but mine was the Brick colored one. Mine appears to be jacked up in the rear. There is 7" between the rear tires and the wheel fender molding. There are Bilstein shocks on the rear without any lift add on's installed that I can see. The front has 4.5" between the tire and fender molding with what I'd call stock black painted shocks. What can I do to level this? Do the Bilstein shocks raise the vehicle this much if you only put them on the rear? I'm not sure if the former owner hauled a trailer or not as to the reason it is like this. Thanks in advance for your input.

The Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shock will help you level this. Fj's are known for being nose down from the factory. 7inches vs 4.5 seems a bit excessive.
I dont believe the Bilsteins raise the rear at all.
I put the 5100's on my first FJ (2012) and to he honest, I didnt care for leveling it out.
my 2014 is nose down. It wont help having me measure my differences, as I have an aftermarket Front and rear bumpers along with the winch.

Yes there is a bit of a front/rear rake from the factory, not sure if that much is normal. Personally I like it, but a lot of folks want to level. Problem with that is when you carry a load then you are squatting instead.
My FJC has the Bilsteins that came with the off road package, on all four corners. Doesn't really matter though, shocks won't cause a lift as they are dampers not springs. Maybe your coils are aftermarket?

Yeah I'm not sure. It drives and rides great. I bought it from a dealer and nothing was listed as changing out the rear springs. It just seems to have more of a rake than everyone else's. Maybe the former owner used to pull a trailer or something quite a bit. Thanks for the input.

Probably need new rear coils if you want to bring the rear down, or adjustable front shocks (like the aforementioned Bilstein 5100s) if you want to bring the front up.

Thanks for the thoughts. I wasn't sure if there was something wrong or not, but looking at closely, the previous owner must have put different springs in it. I guess that we'll see how much, if any that it settles when I put a trailer behind it.
