Do lifts "settle" after a few weeks of driving?

I am not sure If I just got used to my lift or if it settled an inch or 2. I installed the lift 2 weeks ago and it feels shorter than when I first installed it.

They may settle very very little but it's just you getting used to having the lift now. Why do you think we always end up going bigger and bigger haha

measure your fender heights then you can keep track if it's settling or not.

My truck felt big when I first lifted it, now it just feels normal. I drove my wife's Honda Pilot the other day and it felt like I was driving a go-cart. Everybody says my truck is huge but it doesn't seem all that big to me anymore. Maybe we just need a 12" Rize with some 40's? Or get one of them Smart Cars and alternate- one week on, one week off? It seems size does matter.

Yeah man, I think your just getting use to the lift. Mine seems so small now, but seeing other people trying to climb into the passenger seat or when I try getting in after a long day at work, I'm instantly reminded. haha
