Added more lift to Rancho...

So I finally got around this weekend to install my autospring 1.5" kit and Fabtech 5" blocks to my Rancho lifted F-150. Overall I am very happy with the results, the truck looks 10x better. The autospring kit gave me 2.5" of lift in the front and the blocks gave me a little over an inch in the rear. I can say now the truck is perfectly level which was my goal. I'll post some pics later.

Dude just use a 3 or 4 inch add a leaf with a 1 or 2 inch block depending on which add a leaf you purchase. Its really not that hard to figure out.

Dude, have you seen a 1" block for our trucks? Exactly.

I don't want to use an add-a-leaf, I'd like to use the Skyjacker 4" leaf pack.

The block you have now is custom made. Get a 1inch block custom made as well. Or just get the Skyjacker in a 3inch and add a 2 inch block. Also can you provide me a link i want to read further on this thing.

Why dont you just get a new set of rear leaf springs. There is a company up here in NC that will make you a new set of springs with as much lift as you want. I'm sure there is a place in FL that will do it also
