Default Could I add a level to this

I was wondering if I could add a level and blocks to my truck. It already has a 6 in lift ( I think it's a procomp) just wanted a little more. My question is can I put a level on the front with out messing any thing up or the angles of the CV's. I wouldn't think so because they are basically parallel to the ground just wanted to make sure. And my upper control arm is pretty much parallel to.

Is your procomp lift the one with the strut spacers or the replacement struts? If you have the replacement struts I think you could add a 2" level. Your angles look stock now even though its lifted

It has the strut spacer, i know it will look ugly with an extra spacer there

I don't think you want to stack spacers lol. If you really wanna go bigger, I'd recommend getting the replacement struts and put a 2" level spacer on top of them, but don't stack blocks in the rear either, put an add a leaf on with the lift's current block, it'll be a lot safer

You need to get some 6in bilsteins and put a spacer on top of them. Then you shouldnt have any upper control arm issues.

If you want to do a 6" +2" I'd just buy a 8" coil replacement and skip gettin a 6" replacement then a 2" kit... Or just try your luck stacking spacers ... But I wouldn't buy a 6" replacement an put a 2" might as well get a 8" then

Thats actually a valid point. By the time you buy 6" coils and a spacer, you'd be better off just buying the 8" coils...

I searched for a long while befor buying mine and from what i found the 8in struts from bds have a two in spacer on the six in strut and the 8in rize uses a strut extension on the bottom of the strut. I couldnt find a true 8in strut. I might be wrong, just sayin.

Look for actual coil overs from fox king or someone like that... More $$ but great quality ride and they are cheaply rebuildable never buy shocks again

Call king and have them make a custom set of coilovers for your front end! Lol
