6" Procomp + 5100's, need 2" rear lift suggestions

I just added some 5100 shocks with 2" of lift to my 6" procomp lift, finally ending all my rubbing issues. (tight turn+hard dip/bump= rub) Now I got that prerunner look going on and it's not the look I want at all.

So I need a butt lift.

My problem is I have 4" procomp blocks on top of the ford 2" blocks. How do I go and get 2"+ inches of lift on the cheap but safe? Wife is getting tight with cash since Christmas coming up and I much rather have tools than parts for my present!

So, any suggestions?

Thanks!

i have a brand new Add A Leaf that i had made for 2"s of lift in the rear. I ended up not needing it, so i didnt even install it. its still wrapped up from when i had it shipped to me. i paid 120+ shipping for it, ill let it go for 110+ shipping. Let me know if you're interested. inooqz@hotmail.com

stacking AAL ontop of two already stacked blocks can be unsafe.

If i were you, i would order the fabtech 5" blocks w/ U bolts (not expensive) and put the AAL ontop of that. You should sit damn near level.

I'll get some pics today after I get some undercoat and paint my wheel wells. Got to chase down a rattle in my suspension as well. Noticed it last night after going out for a drive.

Anyone know the best price/place to buy these AAL and blocks at?

Got an offsubject (slightly) question for ya...when you run the adjustable Bilstein like you have with an already in place lift kit, you have that huge spacer still in place that came with the lift kit correct?? So it' kinda the same thing as buying a 6" lift but not going with their coil-overs right?? Then you buy the Bilsteins separately and install them like a normal coil-over. (minus the fact you can add two more inches of lift with these)

I'm sure it's a completely awesome set up and the Bilstein performace is obviously undisputed, but why would you not want to go with the Pro-Comp coil-overs for this lift??? Thiers (and the Fabtecs) just look completely and totally bitchen with those lifts (just go look at the pictures on nooqs truck) and I would think they are some pretty awesome products, no??

Just curious is all. Thanks.

pretty much. I think these bilsteins give a better (smoother) ride than the others.
