Lift and leveling kit together?

I have a 2" leveling kit on my FX4. Does the leveling kit have to be removed if I want to install a 4" lift kit? Any input would be appreciated.

Nope, unless you plan on replacing balljoints frequently..

I've been running the 6" Fabtech setup plus 2.5" level for about a year with no problems.

So far I havent had any problems(knock on wood). ANy lift is going to put more stress on alot of componets on your truck. If I were to do it over again I would prolly go with the 8" Rize or CST for better angles. But like I said no prob yet with 25,000 miles or so. As for the rear I have the Fabtech block plus an Add a leaf added to get it level.

I have 34's on my truck right now. Keeping in mind I already have a 2" leveling kit, do you think a 4" lift would make my tires look small?

no i think they would look fine, anything taller than a 4" lift (ie the fabtech 6" or rize 8") would make them look small. I think with only the leveling and 4" lift you should be fine with 34" tires. Any more lift you may need to go to a 35 or probably 37".
