Lift question/ not typical
I want to lift my truck "front" 6". I want the back to be a little lower than the front. I would like to use Superlift's 6" springs in the front but don't know how much lift to put in the back. If I buy the standard kit, it will sit level, so I guess I need to piece together a kit. Would 4" rear springs be OK? I like the look of the front being higher than the rear. Thanks

That should work.
To give you an idea. my superlift has 8" springs in the front, with the 6" rear lift springs and a 4" block. It sits level like that. With the factory block (3.5") the front would have been a touch higher.

Hi Everyone,
My 97 F350 supercrew sat level after the lift, but a set of velvet ride shakles in the rear lowered it about an inch after they settled, i love the look on the truck. Hope this helps.
