Changed Shocks. Now Look.
Hello 1st time posting here. I bought this 05 f150 has a fabtech 6" lift on it. It had fabtech twin tube shocks on it and recently when I went to get it aligned I had them change Ball joints and also had them install 4 Pro Comp prorunner monotube shocks. I picked up the truck and the front seems to sit a lot higher for some reason.
I know they're 2 settings a stock and a 2.75" lifted setting. The shop swears they have it at the stock position to me it just seems really high. What are your guys' thoughts?
Now I need to find a way to fix it. I just had the front end gone through so I do not want to pull everything back off but definitely loved the way it looked before I replaced shocks but got sold onto going to monotube shocks.
Is there a fix for this? If I block the rear to match isn't that going to affect the ride / extend the lift so it isnt a true 6" anymore?
What are your guys' thoughts and opinions on a fix for this issue. I have attached photos of before and after. You can definitely see the difference unless I smoked something this morning LOL.
All help is appreciated. I bought the parts from 4wheel parts

add a leaf

Does the rake look extreme to you like they forgot to put it in stock position? I just paid these guys to do a bunch of front end work and alignment etc I would hate to pull it all apart. Never done one before not sure if it is easy or not?
If I add a leaf will it affect the ride? I was trying to get away from getting the truck taller all together. What is the proper way to measure so I know how much I need to raise the rear or lower the front?

Your definetly nose high by looking at your pics. I would double check the shock settings before doing anything drastic. Are the rear shocks adjustable as well? If so, maybe put them on the highest setting

Rear shocks are not adjustable. I am starting to think the rear shocks are extended full length not allowing the rear to come all the way up. I went from Fabtech twin tubes to ProRunner monotubes and I did not even bother to check the extended length
I will jack the chassis up and see if the rear tires come up with it and see if that is the issue. 4wheel parts have been super cool and saying if thats the issue they will call pro comp before switching out to bilsteins. I am HOPING that is the issue I do not want to pull the fronts back off.
