The different blocks were not to install all at once
I had the different sizes avail. I wanted the truck to be level. I wasn't going to drive back and forth to the store trying different sizes. I paid to have the lift put in and I told the shop I wanted the truck level! when I picked up the truck it was more than 2" high in the frt. So brouth it back to have the Blistiens that were recomended for the frt struts Fter driving the truck I thought it felt a little strange - which came to find out the lower notch on the Bilst. left me with a shock almost bottomed out. so I decided to fix the truck the way I thought it should be on my own in my drive way. I pulled the strut and raise d the c-clip this compessed the spring more and mow the frt feels better. as far as the rear.It was a little wabbly driving around and I needed the back up 2" to match the frt. So I added the Leafs in the rear. I haven't driven the truck yet but it is level and feels stiffer.in the rear. The drive shaft is out for the length I need. 1 3/8" short. to be expected! so I will drive my truck and see after the Drive shaft returnsI talked to pro comp they said that I should leave the stock block and add the 3" that is how they recomend the set up for there 6" lift.
The Stock block gives you the angle for the Diff. and the 3" doesn't have any rake to it.
It was the add a leaf that leveled the truck the way I wanted. which I installed today! Nothing like crawling around on the ground all mornig

I always wondered how safe it would be to use a 2.5 inch leveling kit WITH the bilstein's to raise the front just an inch or two higher than the stock rear height on an FX4.

Well I got the drive shaft back.
Drove the truck for about 200 miles now.
The AAL helped and rasing the 5100 bilstiens to the top notch solved the frt .
this is the first time the truck drove as expexted since the lift was done.
