Leveling options w/ 6in Lift??

I have a Fabtech 6in Performance lift with the factory springs in the front and
blocks in the back. I would lik eto raise the back up another two inches to make it level with the front. What are my options and how much will it cost?

Your options are a larger lift block, an add-a-leaf or a complete set of new spring packs.

5" lift blocks. None of these options would involve your driveshaft, just the body height.

I used a pro-comp add-a-leaf for my truck because it sat just like yours does, now it sits level and I think the AAL is a better option than a bigger block. just my .02

Do all Fabtech 6" lifts result in the rear being lower than the front, or does this pertain to certain model years?

No. It doesn't happen to all of them. These trucks come with different configurations from the factory. My truck still has a slight rake to it.
