f350 lift issue help please.
Hey I recently bought a 04 f350 the guy said it had a 6" rough country lift kit. The only problem is that the truck sits roughly 2 inches lower in the BACK. The front is blocked up approx 5" with the back block being only 3.5-4".
I read blocking the rear anything higher then 4" could cause axle wrap which I do not want. So I'm new to the diesel world and lifted trucks so what would I do to level the front and back as much as possible. If I went and added a 1.5-2" add a spring in the rear would it level it out thanks I'll provide a few pictures but from a further distance it is very noticeable.

Alot of lift kits that use blocks in the rear expect you to stack their block on top of the stock block. My first lift I had on my truck was a 6.5" rubicon express kit it used 2.5" hangers/shackles with 4" lift springs in thr front and a set of 4" lift springs with a block stacked on top of the stock block. I didn`t install the system myself. Stacking blocks is not a good thing todo , but alot of kits do it. I never had any problems and that lift was on my truck for over 4 yrs. To do an add a leaf will ride stiff. Best thing to do is save up and buy a good set of 4" rear lift springs like deavers or some Icon`s and us a a single block in the rear to level up to the front or raise it up just alittle higher if you want a little rack. Decide if you like that height if not and you want to go higher , then save for a all new better system .Icon you can add all the components and from a leveling kit all the way up to 12.5" lift. I have had their 12.5' lift system on my truck for over 2 yrs and have had no problems and the ride / performance is OUTSTANDING!!!!
