I made the mistake of tightening suspension pieces on the lift after insta=
llation and had the same height problem both front and rear.
I then loosened all suspension bolts and let the car sit on all 4 wheels fo=
r a few days also pushing down occasionally. Backed in and out of the garag=
e a few times.
Things settled into the correct ride height after that. Tightened all suspe=
nsion bolts and was good to go.
Good luck.

Raising the rear of a Tiger 3" is significant! It likely shifted significan=
t weight on the front wheels. And if that was the case the static alignment=
is now based on the changes that weight made. Whenever something changes..=
., go back and look at the changes made even if elsewhere. I swapped an EAO=
2.0 for a Lima 2.3 with turbo in my Pinto and the weight difference produc=
ed similar results. But in my case I was expecting a difference.=C2=A0 Why =
3" in the rear?

Had the same thing happen on my Alpine.=C2=A0 It was like the rubber in the=
bushing just disappeared!
I will warn though that if you have the same thing, and the A arm is shifti=

make it that much more likely that you=C2=A0can break your A arm mounts - =
especially=C2=A0going backwards.=C2=A0 Or heck, maybe it makes it better!=
=C2=A0 But either way, I'd be super careful.
