Question Leveling Kit and Suspension Lift?

Can this be done?
In the process of picking up a 2004 FX4 Screw
Looking to do a 2.5" leveling kit asap, but in less than a year looking to get a 6" Fabtech. I would not get tires now, and ill wait until i get the 6" to get some 35s....I know you can do 35s with a leveling kit, but i dont like the way it looks and dont wanna spend the money on it now....

So my question is can i keep my leveling kit on when i do my suspension lift?
Ill also put on a AAL when i put my Fabtech on, dont really know if that matters.
I will post pics of the truck when its FULLY mine, hopefully soon!

If it is a Fabtech lift, then Yes.

Most likely fabtech, unless its a crazy 8" rize, but i doubt it. dont have the cash for that. Why can it ONLY be used with fabtech?

Some kits, like the Pro Comp, come with a 6 inch spacer that bolts onto the OEM coilover shock. You should not stick a leveling kit on these spacers. The Fabtech comes with a longer coilover shock to replace the OEM coilovers, so it's no different than bolting a leveling kit on a stock truck.

i have the RCD 6" kit, and you can add a leveling kit to that as well.... like wandell said, any kit that has a coilover will accept a leveling kit added to it..... in fact, there are many members here doing just that.
