Are you asking about raising the front up more to make it level with the rear? If so, a suspension lift is probably what you're after. Those are around $2000 installed.

Or you could just put the stock blocks back in the rear and it will be level with the front.

im talking about just bring the front level with the rear which is now an additional 1" higher then the front after i put the 1.5" block in. Ithere any way to get another inch including the spacer, so that would make 3" in the front. thanks -mike

If you stacked rear blocks you'll need a full suspension kit to get it right. Or take the rear block out.

Edit: You can get a 3" leveling kit but I would not go that direction. I had a 3" kit... not good. Save some money for a lift that drops the LCA's.

Yep, Skyjacker makes a 3" leveling kit that includes new springs and shocks but it doesn't lower the LCA's so it puts pretty extreme angles on your ball joints, etc. You'd have to take your current spacer out before you put in a 3" kit. I don't know of any way to get just one more inch on top of your existing spacer.

I'd just remove you current leveling kit and install a 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit.

A suspension lift kit is about $2000 installed, give or take a couple hundred depending on the brand and/or which shocks you get. There is no 3" suspension lift for the '04-'07s though, only leveling kits
