Default Can I Add A Leveling Kit If Its Already Lifted??

My truck already has a 5.5" suspension lift and also a 4" body lift. Im wanting to add 2" leveling lift. Is this possible? And also, if i add the leveling kit will i need an alignment afterwards? Thanks.

I was always under the impression that the lift kit also leveled the truck.

Most of the time it should... I think he just wants more height.
OP: it should work, and you would need an alignment after. But if you have spacers in there already, that came with your lift, then you can't do it... You don't want to stack spacers on oem coil-overs. You will need longer shocks to go with spacers you may already have on there....
Let's see a pic of you current coil-over setup.

Yes you can level a lifted truck i have a 6" fabtech plus 3" level and 3" aal on top of mine

Heres a pic has winter 35s on 37s going on very soon..

And ye it willn need to be ail again because you have to pull the front a part to add the level and they wont go bsck on or sir the same as before

Heres a pic of the front setup on mine.... fabtech lifts thee trucks with a shock not a block in the front like most so you can added the level on top...but if the kit you have has the block like a procomp then no you cant youll have to swap the fronts out for coilovers and then a add a level or b tighten them up to get the level out of the coils..

The lifts that are already on it never lifted the front end more than the rear. Seeing how it came with a lift block in the rear from the factor cuz its an FX-4. Im replacing the fornt end coil/spring assemblys as we speak cuz the right was sagging so i was just seeing if while i had it apart if i could add the 2'' spacer or block ontop of the OEM stock coil/spring to level her up. So thank you for saying ill need alignment if i do. Also just ordered new plugs n coils and ealry this week im going attack the POS stock plugs with an IMPACT and see how it goes. Im running 3x amont of Lucas fuel additive to burn up the corrosion inside the motor and have done alot of research to hear the goltting the plugs hard and quick gets them out almost everytime. So wish me luck and/or urge me not to with some good reasonigs. Ha. Also dont know how to upload pix to show my truck for yall.
