Smile lift and lvl questions

I am putting a 6 inch procomp on this Friday and I was wpbdering if I can stack the procomp spacer and my 3 inch hbs. I know that its kind of a no no. And if I do do that will I have that "bulldog" or "cali" stance? And could a get an AAL to compensate for the sag or would I need like a 5 inch block? Thank you all. Just want this to go smooth and get it done in about 3-4 hours with a lift and my tools. Will def post pics ASAP.

you need a 5" rear block for a stock 6" pro comp to get level

fx4forlife79, bumped his pro comp to 8" used bilsteins, had the 5" rear block and the pro comp block they give you with the 6" kit to get it level.

Does anyone have a spare set of 5 inch blocks and U bolts lol. Where is a good place to get a 5-6 inch block. I think I am going to use the procomp for now and then get the 5 inch block. Then terow them in together. Can't wait

Yes and no. Definitely better to go with a full beefy leaf set but don't have the cash for that right now.

Bringing this thread back from the dead. Got the lift on a while ago have no complaint whatsoever. Just still trying to figure out what to do when I add my 3" hbs spacer up front. I need some info on the rear setup still. The rear now has a stacked stock block with the procomp one and a shackle lift too. Would I need an aal and a 6 inch block to lvl it out with the 3 inch? Becuase I need answer asap about to pull the gun on an AAl and fabtech dual steering stabilizer. But née to know the block size and where to go for it. Thanks guys. Just got a nfab prerunner for the rig yesterday also so hopefully have pics up when the hella 700ff's come in

So 6+3 and the rear with the stock block stacked with 6 and AAL and the shackle will be good?? Want to make sure this is definate so I don't run into problems when everything is in front of me.

I know a guy who did what you want to do and he just put airbags on the rear to level it.
