What would I do? Just have them look at the truck and tell them I want it about an inch higher in the back? Thanks for the help.

YEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!just tell him what need and he will make them for you. I went a half inch bigger on the driver side to make it dead level (gas tank is on that side so it will sit lower) look at my photo and see what you think. If you need more help let me know and I will hook you up..................Rusty

I wish my Fabtech lift was the same as yours....I installed mine and it came out level. I added 2" level kit in the front to get up to 8" (pics)

I Had The Same Problem With A 1989 F-250 After Installing A 4" Lift. I Simple Put A Add-a-leaf Kit In The Rear. Cheap And Easy. I Don't Know If The Even Still Make These Things Anymore.
Just Thought I'd Let Ya Know!

Talking

i have a 6" fabtech lift, 3" metal spacer lift, 3" bodylift. first i had the body and suspension installed and it sat level. then i installed the 3" spacer's in the front and added another set of ford factory 4x4 blocks in the rear. the truck was no longer level the front was higher so i went and had a 1" spacer block for passenger side and a 1.5" spacer for the driver side made. if any of you go out and messure the rear of your trucks from the ground to the top of your wheelwells you will see it sit's about a half inch lower on the driverside due to the gas tank..........................Rusty

yes you will be able to clear 37's. "superior off road" in ontario did the work.

Mine is level...

My FABTECH 6 inch coilover lift is level front and back, may be my shop fabricated their own blocks, but I highly doubt it. SOunds like your shop is trying to get around fixing their mistake.

I doubt it's the shop. It's OUTLAW OFFROAD in Irvine and they pretty much do all the trucks around here. I was going to go coil overs in the first place but they said it was overkill for the streets and to save my money! Should have gone with the coil overs!

Mine is actually perfectly level, the pictures were goofy on slight hills. And my friend has a 05 Lariat with Fabtech 6 inch lift without coilovers and his is level as well.
