6" Suspension + Leveling Kit Questions
 
Have a 05 XLT 2wd and right now I'm running a 3" front level and a 2" back block with 305/65/17. I'm thinking about getting a 6" SL but have some questions. Probably wanting to be able to run the level and lift at same time to get 9".

Is putting the 3" level on top of the SL too much? should I go down to a 2" level?

I've heard pro comp lift come with a 2" spacer for part of the 6" and you can't stack the leveling kit on it?

Also heard skyjacker is a good brand but couldn't find any 2wd lifts for my year.

Any other brand recommendations?

Do you think I would need bigger tires to get a good look and if so would I need to re-gear?

Switch out the 6" spacer that comes with the lift and replace it with Bilstein 6-9" struts. Then put the leveling kit on top of those. I've seen plenty of people do it with no issues.

Can you stack a leveling kit on top of these 6" spacers?

Dont stack spacers. If you are dead set on this kit, you can:


A) Replace the 6" spacers with the 6" Bilstein struts and put your 3" level on top
B) Replace the stock strut with the 1-3" bilsteins or any other adjustable coilover and put the new 6" spacer on top.


All of this is assuming this lift is a full 6" lift and not a 4" lift with 6" spacers.
