aal sizes

Im about to order the 2.5 inch as leveling kit but the problem Im having is I also want to add three inches to the back without having to mess with a new lift shackle or stacking blocks. So I need 3 inches to be level and I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes a 3 inch aal?

Why do you want to add another 3" in the rear? The whole purpose of the leveling kit is to level the front with the rear. Anyways to answer your question Skyjacker makes a 2.5" AAL, I believe.

So you already sit a little low in the rear correct?

I'd think about doing the 2" leveling kit and the 2.5" AAL.

I'm willing to bet it probally does fix your rubbing problem and if not, you could trim to get rid of it.

You shouldn't mix a full leveling kit with a fabtech lift because the kits not designed for the extra height and it will wear your tires down. Also, you should never ever mix body and suspension lift because if something happens to your truck then fabtech and the body lift mfg will blame it on each other and they won't warranty your suspension.

Everyone has their opinions. .

I put a leveling kit/spacer on my previous 2004 F150 that had a Rancho lift with no problems other than my ball joints went out. I know plenty of people who have done so with no problems in person and on this website. I wouldn't worry about it. The only thing you need to worry about is your ball joints, UCAs, LCAs, and tie rods. Since your 2WD, you don't need to worry about CV angles either.
