Add a leaf to pro-comp 6" lift?

I havn't been here for a while but I need some help. I have pro-comp's 6" lift kit on my '04 F150 and I want to add another inch or inch and a half to the rear end. Is there and add a leaf system I can get or a larger lift block (other than the 4" block that came with the kit) that I can get? This would level the truck out a little bit and keep my headlights a little more in check. Thanks for the help guys.



I screwed up my sig, so if you want to check out my ride click here...

Skyjacker makes and add-a-leaf for our trucks, or fabtech makes a 5" block for our trucks. Those would be your two options.

I bought the skyjacker add=a=leaf and did it myself. Alot of work, but cheap parts (around 120 bucks)

I guess you found out that the rear spring pack is pretty worn out , mine was after only 6 months. So with the 6" procomp kit, the truck wasn't level.

Thanks guys. I can't seem to find the 5" block anywhere on the net. It seems like it would probably be the easier/cheaper way to go. Know where I could find it?

Bob, I am thinking about the add-a-leaf myself. I just havent gotten around to it yet. The truck still sits level but I think it could use a little in the back.
Let me know what you end up with.

I was thinking the same exact thing!

At first glance, you can see that my front end is sitting higher than the rear. Also, smaller trucks and SUVs still blind me from the rear (which is odd, considering how high I'm sitting with the 6"). Tha angle is all wrong...

If anyone can post an exact link showing me where I can get something it would help alot, or you can email me the link. I'm ready to buy but I can't find anyone who will sell me the parts.

Bob,

Call up 4wheelparts directly. Thats what I did when I was looking for the add-a-leaf and cost. And place the order over the phone, I didnt find it on the website but I know they have them if you call.

I did call them Ed, they told me to call the manufacturer (I tried Fabtech and Pro-Comp) and get a part number and then call them back and they would give me a price. I couldn't get through to either manufacturer. The receptionists would put me on hold for 10 minutes, then pick up again and say let me transfer you. Then another then minutes. Repeat. I gave up.

F150 owners who are looking for additional height and/or looking to strengthen their existing leaf spring pack here’s your solution. This kit will provide 1 ½” of additional rear lift.

Also try these guys: http://rockymountainsusp.com/
