Default 6" Pro Comp Lift Installed, Front is higher, Best way to level?

Hello all, I just had my 6" Pro Comp Stage 1 Lift Kit installed on my 2006 FX4 this past Thursday. When I picked it up I noticed the front was sitting higher then the back, however I am awareof the fact they settle in the front a bit over the next few days and it did.

Now it's Monday and it has settled all it is going to and it is about an inch to an inch and 1/2 higher in the front. It is very noticeable to me and I would really like to raise the back up a little bit.

I don't want to double stack blocks or anything like that and after spending $5K on the lift wheels and tires I really don't want to spend another $1,000 to put on the Bilstein 5100 adjustable's.

Can i add a 1 1/2 inch AAL set to the back safely with this lift kit?

Any ideas would be great. I will also have pics up of everything as soon as I get her cleaned up

Thanks!

Best bet on this would be to install a ProComp add-a-leaf. This will give you about 2 inches more lift in the back and still rides very nice. The part number is 13134 and they go for about $150 Canadian. I know the shop I work at usually keeps them in stock and can ship anywhere in North America

I bought the Stage 1 kit, I know they use the block in the back but I believe the AAL is additional. Guess I should have thought about that before I had them do the work. Front what I am ready the AAL is not included in the stage one kit.

I was looking at those, for some reason i thought they were part of the state 1 kit but I guess it is additional. I am going to have to pick them up to level this thing out.

Yeah, that's what I am seeing. A little pissed they didn't bring it up when I took it in since it is an hour away but I am going to have them install the AAL kit this Friday to level it out. $253.46 installed, not bad since I have to go up for my 10 day check up anyways.

Yeah, from what i have seen the stage 1 kit always sits an inch or so lower in the rear if you don't get the AAL kit from them. It is an add on not included like it should be. With the AAL kit is should sit almost exactly even, possibly a 1/2 inch higher in the back but that works for me.

that's the catch, procomp knows it sits low in the rear and doesn't tell you that, so unless you know before hand and order inch taller blocks, you got to order more stuff, they hope from them. never been a fan of procomp anything....
