Level kit issue?

whats up, first time poster here. I have a 06 f150 4x4 and purchased 2" AS kit cuz the rear sat 2" taller then the front. After the install and alignment now my front sits 1" higher then the rear. Is this normal? Or do I just need to get the 3" rear block? Thanks for any help

I put a 2.5" leveling kit on and it raised it a bit under 3.25" just go with a three inch block or if you tow alot or load your bed get an add a leaf there both about the same price.

That's what I figured after the install and noticed the difference. Guess I just thought a leveling kit would balance it out. There goes another $120

I guess my next question would be is the 3" rear block a true 3" or will it be around 3 inches. I want it leveled perfect if possible.

I believe the 3" block replaces the 1.5" that is already there giving you a 1.5" lift.

the stock block is 1-5/8" so figure your getting the front up 1-3/8" or if you can get a one inch block you can stack them.. I have heard differant things about doing this some say it works and some say not to so you could do some research
