can you add too a lift?

guys on the 6" procomp lift. since the front has a spacer, can you add a bigger spacer, too go higher? since it has a spacer can you put a leveling kit on? i see some guys with lifts and still adding a leveling kit. what can you do too achieve more lift on a lift already? sorry if it's a stupid question, but did a search and no real answer! thanks for any help!!

You could add the Bilstein 5100's for another 2 inches of lift.

im thinking thats because certian kits dont use a spaceer to obtain the front lift instead they use ajustable coilovers. the problem with stacking spacers is that the angles of some of the suspension components.

im not much of a miz on the new 150's but i think i know enough!

im sure Wandell, or monster will fill you in with the rest

x2 that will give you a much better ride and if its still not high enough go get a 3" PA body lift!

Brilliant Idea....

If you could go with the ProComp 6" Big Spacer, and put some Bilstein 5100's on there to fit some 37's that would rock.....

Anyone got ideas?

like posted earlier get rid of the spacers totaly and get the bilsteins 5100's you can crank them up 2" so then you are sitting at 8" that will fit most 37" tire and wheel combos!

im not great with the 04-08 F150's but i think you would be fine with that! that leaves you room for later to get a 3" BL and upgrade to like maybe 39-40's! just a thought

Dont knock the body lift they are cheap and with the proper setup they are good way of adding room for more RUBBER!
