Question Daystar leveling kit?

I have a 1995 ford f150 w/ a 6" suspension lift I also run 35's. I still need a little clearance in the front cause I'm rubbing a bit. I've got 2 options. 1.) a nasty *** 2" body lift or 2.) Daystar 2" leveling kit. I've kinda already decided to use the Daystar cause I HATE! body lifts. So here's my question, I'll have like 8 inches of lift total in the front of my truck, what kind of problems might I have if any by doing this. This is a daily driver so I want to make sure I'm not doing anything retarded or that its not going to be a alignment issue or anything stupid like that.

Does the truck sit level with the 6" lift kit, or does it sit lower in the front? If it sits lower in the front, then you should be fine installing the leveling kit to the front suspension. You will most likely need an alignment on the front end after the installation. Also, check to make sure you have enough room on the front brake lines to handle the extra 2" of lift.

I used the Daystar 2 levelers on the front of my truck, I lifted the front and placed them under the coil springs, They actually picked the front end up about 1 3/4" once it settled in. I did have a frontend alignment asap after installing.
