4" lift kit with 4" rear springs?

I have a 1995 F150 with a 3" body lift and 33's, and I am planning on adding 4 " suspension kit to my truck. I've noticed that all the kits come with 4" springs in the front and 2" in the rear to level the truck. But I dont want the truck to be level, i have leveling coils on my truck right now and whenever i put anything in the back, the rear sags and looks terrible, so i want to keep the stock angle for load carrying. Would there be anything wrong with buying a 4" lift kit that comes with rear blocks, and just tossing the blocks and buying 4" springs for the rear?

that's exactly what you want to do. separate the kit. buy a 4 inch front kit, and buy the rear part of the 6 inch kit whichever way you decide to do it so you bring it up 4 and 4. if you have a supercab, you might not get a full 4 inches of lift up front, i got 3.5 on mine. on the back i had a spring shop add a leaf and 2 half inch plates on top of the factory blocks which gave me a total of 3 inches of rear lift. it keeps the back sitting about an inch higher than the front which is what you are after. if you have any more questions about how mine was done lemme know
