3" L Series Lift (raise Front)

I really don’t know what to do here but im really wanting the front to sit higher as the Leone really looks silly with the rear so dam high and the front noticeably lower.. I was thinking maybe just putting a 4” lift in the front? Or maybe changing the front suspension? I’m a bit lost anyone ever tried anything like this??

My recommendation is do not use different size kit from front to rear.
Therefore i would thing that you could either get taller front struts or lower the rears to match the current front.

i do like the ride height on the rear of the leone atm tho, would it be ok to just lift the front strut tops?

go one inch higher lift on the front struts and engine crossmember, keep all the rest the same. Thats what im doing with the brumby to level out the ride height 3" rear, 4" front

if you go 4" all round you'll still have the same problem but the whole car will be higher

I run a smaller lift in the back than the front... I highly recommend running an inch smaller at the back. However i don't recommend 4 inch kits.
