Levelling out a 6" Fabtech

Does anyone on here have a 6" Fabtech lift, and had the rear sag?
I'm just curious because I've heard both responses and I am curious whether or not I should plan on buying block for the rear or a AAL's

Thanks Guys

I had rear sag with mine, that was due to a 2" block that came with the basic kit . Changed rr block to a 5" . Now it sits pretty level.

I have the 6 inch pro comp kit and mine sags in the rear about an inch. I have the stock block stacked with a new block not sure how many inches i think its 2" ( if anyone knows let me know). will the 5 inch block be worth it?

I have the Fabtech with a 5" block in the rear and it sits pretty level. I've never measured it, but I actually think it may be higher in the rear, but to the eye it looks pretty level.

Les schwab. Not sure if its fabtech or schwab but I had sag with mine too and they put a 5 1/4" block. Needed longer u bolts so the cost was a little more.

I replaced the 2" Block that came with my kit with a 4" block and longer U-Bolts. Its sits perfectly level.

Which kit do you have?

The 6" Procomps come with a 2" block or 2.5" block, I believe. However they want you to stack the stock block ontop, which isn't very good and most people will tell you the same thing.

Ive always wondered about that. Stacking blocks just doesnt seem right. Is there a problem with making a 6" block? why do kits do that..throw a 4" block under a 2" factory block and call it a 6" lift. You would think for $2,500 you could get a 6" block....and some aal's. After 5 g's i drove my truck outa the shop with the *** sagg'n and a broken front shock mount ear. Not cool.

I've got a 6" block with the Rize 8" kit. Granted it's a little big but its fine until I can get the set-up I want.

allright so after all this block talk i checked out 4WP website and they have blocks for diff prices. Whats the difference between the 65 dollar blocks and the 120 fabtech blocks, and do we think it matters what brand you stick on there, or does it have to be the same brand as the lift?
