leveling kit
hey guys i have a 2000 f250 4x4 7.3 and aZF6, its a regular cab long bed with 33x12.5r17 bfg mud terrains and it already has some type of leveling kit on it. it has 3 leafs in the front and rancho shocks and the rear has spring packs out of an f350. i could clear 35s now (or so i think) but the only problem is that the back sits slightly higher than the front and to me thats hideous. However im from florida where every truck has the palatka lean, tampa tilt, flossin, whatever you want to call it where the front is lifted about 3-4 inches hgher than the back. now i dont want that much but about 1-2 inches of rake would be perfect. 
anyways to get to the point, i was wondering besides shackles are there any LEGIT ways to squeeze an inch or 2 of lift out without drop pitman arm, track bar drop bracket etc. like the mini leaf packs i saw mentioned on here earlier? i just want the front about an inch higher than the back and 35s. ill post pictures of everything when i get off work. also does anyone know a company that sells a 4-6 inch kit for these trucks that is affordable? im not broke but the navy doesnt pay too much lol

Alright so what I need to know is since I already have leveling springs if I put a zone 2.5 spring pack under them with an adjustable track bar I should wind up with around 5-6 inches total correct? Most people report 3-4 inches out of them

If you only have springs up front then adding a mini spring pack will give you extra height. Depending on the motor you might get more or less.
I'm assuming your truck is never loaded down or tows anything?

He's looking for front lift, right now it has a slight rake and he hates that look, wants the noise high look

i was just responding to this statement:
the Pro Comp kit i bough had add-a-leafs and an additional 1" block to lift the rear, so leaving one or both of those out would net the bro stance he wants, while having a complete, safe front end.

thanks guys, i ended up ordering some 3 inch mini packs off ebay for 100 bucks with U bolts. itll have to do until i can get enough money in a pile for a real lift. technically i could afford a lift right now but new tires, rims, probably an alignment etc is totally out of my reach for a while, i went ahead and ordered the 3 inch and that leaves me enough jingle in my pocket to try and find some 35s. oh another thing, are any of you guys located up here in washington? im new up here and they 4x4 crowd around here seems pretty slim. thanks guys

thats what i have under my truck. i recommend either getting an adjustable track bar or a couple strong friends and a comealong to get the stock bar back on.. i opted for the latter.

im going to order one from zone offroad, i was going to do it a couple days ago but verizon surprised me with a 400 dollar bill so that ate my truck money till next paycheck, i heard you can set the truck back on the tires and turn the wheel to the left and it will pop in, hopefully... if not i may have to call some buddys.
