Default Rear is lower than front end w/6" rcx

I had a 6" rcx installed a couple of weeks ago and I've noticed the rear of my truck seems to sit a bit lower than the front. Anyone know how raise the rear up to level because i personally don't like the look and if anything have the rear a little higher than the front ? Thanks

Thats wierd because mine sits level maybe even a slight rake. My rcx came with a 5" block maybe you got the one for the 4" lift kit.

Thats odd. What is your measurement from the ground to the top of your fender? A 1" add a leaf should do the trick though.

Ill measure in a little bit and let you know but I use to have a 2.5 level lift before the 6"rcx and my rest was a tad higher. Any suggestions on a good place to get the add a leaf from ? Ill prefer it today

This may be obvious but did they take the level off the front when they installed the lift?

Yes, and I know because I paid a friend who owns a shop to do it plus I helped out about 60%

Yours looks more level, if not better than how I want mine to look. So "add a leaf" would do the truck for me ?

Should do the trick. It will firm up the ride in the rear a fair bit. How many miles do you have on your truck?
