So I've already leveled my truck (2" front) with coil blocks and 2" drop brackets.

I would like to lift it 2 more inches with AAL's and keep it level. this would make it 2 in back and four up front. I feel like i'd have to remove the level, then install the lift? Can i leave the drop brakets?

is it a four inch lift + two inch lift? or when you buy a two inch does it level it for you?

I've thought of that but i dont really like body lifts, the gaps and it looks cheap. But if i keep it short it may be ok.
I was also wanting to get maybe aal's in the back, or f250 springs or something so it sits higher with a little more weight capability

TX, where else should I be?
I know someone who basically filled that gap by welding some thin metal on the inside frame that extended up to the bed, but the F250 springs sounds like a really good idea.

are you only trying to raise the back? and when you say lift what kind or how big we talking? i know many people who use leveling kits with lift kits and use aal or buy bigger blocks.

2 inch lift, its leveled and im trying to keep it level while raising it just a little. More capacity in the back, and lift the front to match. Its a 1992 f-150 5.0 4x4 extended cab on 31's

hum it doesn't have torsion bars on a 92? :dunno: but if not only other way i'd know to raise the front is bigger spindle lift. but with the rear possibilities are endless. blocks would be the cheapest, my friends truck lifted had some cali lean which he hates so he bought 6" blocks from pro comp for fairly cheap vs springs. if you carry heavy loads might look into some air bags

Nah mine doesnt have torsion bars, i think ford trucks took those on in 97
not sure if spindle lifts work for 4x4.
im not going too big of loads, maybe occasionally. i just dont want a reverse rake goin on with the quad in the back or a trailer attached. ive tried searching for 3/4 ton springs installed on a 1/2 ton, but couldnt find much. anyone know of anybody whos done this?
