Female Problems

First I would like to say you guys have a great web site here I have learned a lot and with out ya'll I wounld not have gotten anything done without reading the forums.....

I had a 6" Fab Tech lift put on my 2004 Supercrew F150 2x4. I've noticed that the front seems to be a little bit higher than the rear. Front measuring 9-1/2"in the front & 8-1/4" in the rear, from the the tire to the fender. Question is... is this normal or is there something wrong?
Next questions is can I put the 2-1/2" level lift back on the front and ad a leaf in the rear? to give it a couple more inches?

They have a coil spring suspension on the 4x2 and the 4x4s.

If he has an '04 heritage then he still has torsion bars...

Well if its a new body style and the lift kit you have includes a large lift plate to retain the stock front coil over, i would HIGHLY NOT suggest that you add say a 2 inch spacer to that 6 inch spacer to get 8 inches because you are just making more weak point for that coil over to buckle. Just my opinion. And yes its normal for the front to be slightly higher in the front and in my opinion is better looking tham level in most caes.

1st, welcome to the site! Sounds like you have gotten well into "modifying" the new truck. As said above, the front being higher after the lift is common. I'm not sure about "adding the spacer", but you might contact the supplier of the 6" lift and ask it there is a problem. Good luck & enjoy
