Question Adding A Leveling Kit on a Lift Kit??

2012 F350 Lariat 4x4 with the FX4 package and had an 8" ProComp Stage 2 lift installed, Toyo Open Country 38x15.5r20 tires and a set of Fuel Throttle 20x12 -44 4.75"bs rims.
Right now the front tires just catch the outer corner of the tire on the fender and the back end of the truck sits 1-2" lower then the front.
Can I add a 2" leveling kit to the front and the 3" stock block in the rear? I will change out the shocks F&R to compensate for the added length and have U bolts made for the rear.
Never done this before so any input would be appreciated. Thanks

If you are planning on stacking blocks, think again. very dangerous and more than likely illegal in your area

You can install a 1" spacer into the front lower spring perch, Icon and BDS both sell 1" kits for this.

You can install the block if the rear springs are a full replacement pack that don't already use a block, otherwise, no stacking.

If you didn't already extend the brake lines for your first gimungus lift, then you should probably check them, the vac lines, and the abs wires in the front end as well.

Puck up front unless your current lift is a puck/spring combo (think 6" spring + 2" puck)

If rear was all leaf and you have factory block, swap in a 3" taller block with new bolts

At no point should you stack blocks. They tend to pop out at in opportune times. If you already have a huge block, buy a 1-2" AAL




Did you ever find out if your front axle is centered? Very nice looking truck btw.

why would a F350 sit lower in the rear after a lift? They come with the bigger factory block which after a lift installed would still have a factory rake?

and why not just trim a 1/2 inch off the lower valance? allot cheaper than new brake lines. longer abs extensions, longer shocks, etc, etc....
