6" Procomp stage 2 - not level!

Okay what gives with the 2 3/4" aluminum rear block they send? The rear sits a good 2" lower than the front. Yes I also used the stock block too. Am I supposed to crank down on the front struts to lower it to the same level? Procomp told me they were preset and not to adjust them. Help me out here please.

You may just need to purchase a 4.5 or a 5" rear block. My BDS came with a 5" and the rear is about 1.5" higher than the front, I need to slap a level on it!

Yeah that's what a local off road store said too. I ordered the BDS 5" block. That's still not gonna level it. Guess I'll have to crank down the front stuts too anyway. That sucks! I wanna go up not down. lol. I'll put a 3" body lift on it too. That might get it high enough to make me happy.

If the 5" block doesn't get it high enough, then you can do a 1.5" add a leaf or 1.5" lift shackles for some extra height.

This is the same setup I am running right now. My front fenderwell clearance is about .5" higher than the front now. Sits perfectly level. I am considering new Skyjacker Leaves but that project is on hold. Good Luck...

I took out the stock block and the procomp aluminum block and put in a BDS 5" block. Only have to adjust the front down 1/2" now and it's all good. I'm way OCD on that stuff. I appreciate all the advice. Thanks
