going bigger suggestions

alright i got a 06 screw. its got a 6 inch lift with 35''s. it looks like it sits a little higher in the front to me. well what i wanna do is get an AAL then get a leveling kit to make it look higher? is this the best thing i should do? what would yall do to make yalls 6inch lift bigger and also get rid of the sag in the rear. also i want an AAL because if i put any weight in the back of my truck than it really sags. so i want to be able to put my atv in the back and not look like my truck is takin a squat. can yall hook me up with some ideas with what to do. thanks ever1. and please dont say get a rize lol. i already have the 6inch on there and i cant get a rize.

Well if you have the standard Procomp kit and it's installed as the instructions call for than you have a 2-1/2" block plus the factory 2" block stacked in the rear. Personally, I don't think stacking a block is a good idea. Myself, I'd get a 5" block and a 2" add-a-leaf and it probally should be pretty level with a spacer on the front. No problem on the reply, just helping out a fellow F150'er.

ya that sounds good, but it dont sound like im gonna get any bigger doin this. should i get a bigger AAL in the back then get a leveling kit so i get a couple more inches added to it? I dont wanna spend all this money and not get any lift out of it. lol. is the bigger AAL in the back with a leveling kit sound good to you? i want my truck to look bad *** man. I mean it looks bad *** now, but there is so many lifted trucks at my school, i want it to be the biggest. lol. It pisses me off when i see dodges with 5 inch lifts and they are way bigger than my f150 with a 6 inch lift. that pisses me off bad.

I have a 6" Fabtech lift on mine with a single 5" block in the rear and it sits perfectly level so that would be my sugesstion to you. Now if you want to go larger then you can do as Thumper suggested with the AAL & the spacer up front.

If you do the EXACT set-up that I posted, it should be almost as big as my truck is in the current pictures that I have in my gallery. It'll only be an inch shorter due to the difference in tire size.

I don't think it'll look too bad, probally skying them a little bit. I'd go with a set of 37x13.50s once they wear out.

Here is another option to adjust rear height by adding spacers to rear leaf pack. Select a system at bottom and then click options.....part #9906

iam actually going the same route as you. i have the standard pro comp like yourself (what iam guessing you have). I had a 3" body lift put on and that got me higher up, now iam going with the leveling kit, the daystar kit. its not recommended to stack spacers but you can actually use the coil spring spacer that comes with the daystar kit for 1.5" of lift for the front and then throw a add a leaf in the rear to level you up.
