Default lift blocks or add-a-leafs

I want to level out my procomp 6'' suspension lift because it sits slightly lower in the rear. I had a similar question about this before but i can't decide if i should put a 1.5'' add-a-leaf on top of my 4'' block, or get a 5.5'' block. Im worried about the ride quality with they add-a-leaf anyone use them?

I would take the present lift kit out and leave it out.
Why you might have asked? Been there, done that.
There is NO end to the money you'll spend when parts
begin to break becuase of all the stress you'll put
on the rest of the truck...

Don't believe what I'm taking (printing) about?
You have already started... Seems the kit you
just installed was not engineered very well or
your truck would not be lower in the rear than
the front. Now you're willing to try and fix the
problem that Procomp started with a block or
springs...

Just some advice from a guy that did it all and
now leaves them as the factory makes them...

Good luck

just leave the bulldog look my personal opinion. Or your gonna need to figure it out, you dont want to modify a lift kit to "work" right you need to adjust other parts to work the way they need to.

I put the add-a-leaf in the rear of my 96 F150 4x4 and I do not notice any appreciable difference in ride quality. It raised the rear of my truck about 2".
