I have a 2006 4x4 xlt with a 6" Fabtech lift with dirt logic coil overs. My 35s are about worn out and I want to go up to 8" and 37s. I'm planning on getting skyjacker softride leaf springs in the back (they lift 4") and 3.5" blocks (I had 2" stock blocks). This gives me a total of 5.5" of rear lift. I want to raise the front 2" to have 8" total in the front. My question is, what size leveling kit do I need to get to get 2" of lift in the front? I know leveling kits work off geometry as well as the spacer height. Like my dad's 2012 2" leveling kit was a spacer that was 1" thick. Since my geometry has changed with the 6" lift, will a 2" leveling kit still give me 2" of lift or will it give me more or less due to different geometry than stock? I HATE rake on a truck, so I don't want to end up not getting enough lift in the front, but I also know too much lift in the front will cause problems.

 

A two inch kit should still give you two inches of lift.
But, you have the Dirt Logic coilovers. Why don't you just crank up the preload on the coilovers to gain two inches?

 

Crank your coil overs.

 

A nightmare doesn't begin to describe my past experience messing with those coilovers. No shop anywhere around me can adjust them. I took my front end apart 6 or 7 times to take the coilovers to local shops and sent them to Fabtech twice. They finally sent me 2 new coilovers with redesigned springs that are much shorter than the originals. They look like I've already cranked them but I haven't. The new spring is so short that I don't have room to crank them to get more lift and it's worth it to me to buy a leveling kit to avoid the hassle of trying to adjust them

 

What brand of leveling kit do people seem happiest with? Or does it really matter?

 

Autospring seems to be a good choice.

 

Mossy, post up a photo of your coil overs showing as much of one of them as you can.

I'd just go autospring 2" assuming you are at exactly 6" currently. Post a pic of your CV's as well with reference to the ground

 

Here's the cv axle


and here's the coil. The threads stop where my finger is

 

You're at more than 6" of lift according to your CV. Take some fender measurements and hopefully someone here will chime in doing the same.

IIRC at 6" it's around 44-45" at the highest point of the fender well from the ground. Might be more accurate to take a measurement from the center of the wheel to the highest at the wheel well to take away the difference from different tires or air pressure

I'd probably stick with like a 1" leveling kit if you can find one.

 

How do I get to autospring's website to order directly from them instead of through ebay? I can't find their site on google

From the ground to the top of the wheel well is right at 45" with 35" mud grapplers with pretty worn out tread

 

measuring from the top of the fender, to the center of the wheel would yield more accurate results to compare. As different brands of tires have different size, even tho they may all be labeled "35x12.50" and so on.

 

Center of the wheel to the top of the fender is about 28.5"

 

I know, that's exactly what i said....
