6'' Lift with Level and 35's... Can I Align it???

Hey guys! I'm thinking about throwing my level on with of my 6'' Pro Comp. I put 6'' Blocks with the factory blocks so I'm back to the factory looking rake... I hate it! BUT theres no way I'm going lower lol.
My question is whether I'll be able to get it aligned after I put it on. I've got brand new 35's I just bought a couple weeks ago so I dont want to go out and buy another set of new tires. And I dont want to have to regear either.
Is anybody running that set up???

Thanks in advance guys! I appreciate it.


Her's a picture of what it looks like now... all stink bugged. lol

after you out the level in all u need is them to adjust the toe in/out. The camber should not be affected. Many people are running this setup. I plan to do this myself in the spring

A agree. However a set of the OEM replacement Bilstiens (that allow 2 inches of lift via preload adjustment) would be a much better choice.

No actually a leveling kit is easier to install because the spacer just bolts to the top of the coilspring assembly were as the bilsteins you have to get a strut compressor to put them in. 6" blocks with the factory block. Yikes!! I bet your leaf spring is completely flat if not bending the wrong way.

Ha Ha! Not quite. They're a little saggy but my truck is a daily driver and I hate add a leaf stiff rides.

I should have clarified that I have a 3'' level and they are an SOB to put in.
