8 inch RIZE questions.

Hope I can get some help here.

Had the 8 inch RIZE installed ( still had level kit in )

The truck when finished had rear end sag .

Had the Level kit taken out like preplanned but the truck still sits front high.

I believe the installer did add the Add-a-leaf but not sure how many leafs on a stock FX4 spring pack.

Anyone else have this problem ?? and how did you fix it ??

I have thought about adding the 4 inch Skyjacker add- a- leaf.

If the add-a -leaf wasnt installed then its and easy fix . Companies I called say they havent had this problem with other trucks.

Just trying to get some ideas until I find my Invoice to see what was put in .

Geez hope I didnt confuse anyone to much and if you have questions just post them --

Guess I should also get back to the installer of the lift and see if it was done.

OK just looked at leaf pack -

Its 3 springs with a Ford numbered bottom spring ( helper ) Looks like maybe the add-a-leaf wasnt installed after all ??

Any help with this would be great.

Add-a-leaf should come stock with all Rize kits I thought ??

They don't come for free unless you are able to get them thrown in for free with some negotiation. They aren't part of the standard package.

Just E-Mailed my installer so hopefully he gets back to me soon --

A company here in Canada (2Kool performance ) says they should come standard -- even though their web page shows 199.00 for the set -- wierd

No, the Rize kit does NOT come with an add-a-leaf.

Yes, the add-a-leaf will fix your problems. My truck sat level with a 2" add-a-leaf and the 6" Rize block.

Talked to my installer yesterday and he says the add-a-leaf was indeed installed along with the block.

He will talk to the people at RIZE to see if there is anything else to check.

I sent them pictures in series ---from stock to now .

My other thought is that maybe the canopy has something to with it

Well I just had the truck in the garage at work where it is perfectly level.

From the ground to the bottom of the front flare ( highest point ) is 48 inches.

The rear to highest point of flare is 46.5 inches.


Wierd -- I think one option for me is to pull the RIZE add-a-leaf and install the skyjacker 4 inch. It may wind up a tad high but should be more level. The truck does tow a trailer alot of the time in summer .
if anyone out there does have the 8 inch installed what is the difference in height between the two measurements I took on your truck.
