First off Im new, really glad I found this place. I have a 2006 F150 FX4 with a 6 in Fabtech lift 17x9 MM 951 w/35's I noticed the rear of the truck seems to sag a little compared to the front. Has anyone else experienced this and if so whats the best way to correct it. Thanks

 

Id say get an add a leaf or different blocks for the back. i guess it would depend on how much it sags.

 

Thats what I was thinking Im probably going to go with the add a leaf I also noticed I picked the same user name as you just spelled different Ill change that as soon as possible to eliminate any confusion

 

Its all good, I have the 1.5" aal from skyjacker but im not lifted like you are just a level kit and the aal. it might put a slight rake back into the truck idk hopefully someone lifted will chime in. the user name is all good just make a sig thats enough difference! unless your truck is red! j/m

 

Sorry I have no pics of my truck, but I went with the Rancho lift, then started to get crazy. Wanted a little more lift.... added the daystar leveling kit up front and a shorter shackle in the rear, which due to the ford design actually lifts the rear a little. Found that the rear was still a little lower than the front. Added another block in the rear, I know bad idea but the shop that did the work for me made a custom one for me. Now the truck sits perfect.

What I should have done was go with an add-a-leaf instead of the second block because now I need traction bars. (not cheap) With the 2 blocks and the added leverage, I get wheel hop when accelerating because the rear spring torques so much.

 

I love me the Droop!

 

Hey FX4LIFE, I was wondering about that 1.5 AAL, I've got 2" Level kit, and want to get the back a little higher, almost same set up as you...Give me feedback from the AAL. Changed the drive a lot?
Should I go with a block instead?
Is it way stiffer when loaded?
I'm hauling a 26 foot camper 4 months a year(Dam Canadian winters!!!)....
Any comments will be apriciated

 

BDS and skyjacker sell new leaf packs for 5 and 6 inch lifts. It costs a little more, but you get more leafs in the pack to stop axle wrap and you will not fatigue the upper springs over time like you will with an AAL.....

 

you two have the same name thats funny, i didn't think that was possible to do.

 

Mine is the skyjakcer 1.5" add a leaf, i picked it up from summit racing for 135. It didnt change the ride that much at all, a little stiffer but nothing harsh at all. Idk about blocks, I like the aal b/c it helps w/ towing. You wont really notice it at all when towing, just like stock except the truck will sag much less (at least in my case, I haul an 18' enclosed racing trailer and an 18' flatbed carhauler w/ loaders/equipment). i cant say much about hauling a camper, i never have. when i have equipment on it does tend to sag a bit (less than level) but that stuff is heavy i didnt really expect it to hold that level, but it did help out a bunch. I wanted to do the leveling kit but i still wanted to have towing capabilities. to me if you put a leveling kit on and you tow your probably goin to have some front end up issues depending on what you haul though. Id recommend the aal over the block, but i have never had a taller block so. . .

 

yea when i first saw this post i was like what the hell, someone figured out my p/w or it let someone take my name?? then i noticed he left the i out in life . .. . oh well. .

Thanks FX4Life, made me more confident, I'm placing my order tonight...
I think the truck also look better with a little rake, not level so its a win-win situation.

 

sounds good, be sure to get some pics up when your done! if you need anything you can email me or come back here! good luck

 

yah i and i helped edward put his AAL on its very easy and straight forward
