Question Raising Rear End......

I just got my 6" Fabtech lift installed on my 2004 Supercrew. I love it and have had many compliments. But I have noticed the rear end is about 1/2" lower than the front. I'm pretty sure I read something on the forum before about some way to raise the rear end to level it out or make it even with the front. I want to say I remember somebody mentioning a product by Superlift but can't remember for sure. Any suggestons? Thanks!

P.S. I do have a few pictures of my new truck posted, check it out!

You can either put in a larger lift block, or go to a smaller one and install a pair of add-a-leafs. You cannot just lift the rear end by only 1/2 inch. Add-a-leafs will add about 1-2 inches. SO If you have a 4 inch block in the rear you can opt for a 5 inch block or opt for a 3 inch block and add-a-leaves. Note you almost definately will get axle wrap with a 5 inch block. I personally am running a 1.5 block and a pair of add-a-leaves because I got severe axle wrap from a 4 inch block. Just my 2 cents

I called the truck shop who installed my lift and they said the Fabtech kit I have utilizes a 5" block. I have not noticed any problems with it so far. So I assume if I go to a 4" block and add a leafs then I might get the level look? I could swear I remember somebody on here a month or two ago talk about the same thing. I thought something (block, add a leaf, etc.......) from Superlift was brought up and was advised to use with the Fabtech kit. Sound familiar?

i had the same problem, my front sat an inch higher than my rear so i just added pro comp add aleafs 50$ and now the rear sits an inch higher than the front and it looks great with that stance, to take care of the axle wrap i went with pro comp traction bars hope this helps, here is the way it sets
