Help on lift installation!!!
This weekend some buddies and I installed (still installing) a Fabtech 6" lift on his '06 f-150. He used to have a levelling kit on and we are unsure if we should reinstall the levelling pucks or discard them. He would like the truck to sit level not rear sagging. We have also discussed reinstalling them and if it does sag in the rear just order an add-a-leaf kit to raise the rear. Any advice is appreciated.

the fabtech kit should level it out. its usualy like a 6 inch front and 4 inch rear or something like that to get the total lift and level. every truck ive seen with 6 inch lifts have sat level with just the kit installed

Well, we couldn't wait for replies and we installed the levelling pucks on top. (didn't have the shorter factory bolts anyway) The truck sags in the back now so we're ordering a rear add-a-leaf first thing in the morning. Hopefully it will arrive before this weekend so we can wrap up this project.
Overall it wasn't that difficult of an install but it was definitely time consuming. A vehicle lift would have been awsome to have had. It only took 3 trips to the auto supply store!
