Exclamation leveling question

i have a 6'' lift kit in my truck and i want to put a leveling kit in it. i dont realy want to put the coil blocks in so i was thinking of buying 8'' lift coils there about the same price as the leveling kit... would that work? or do the leveling kits only work on stock suspentions? and if it does, anyone want to buy 6'' lift coils for there 4'' lift? they are just about a year old.

I thought most lift kits did a good job of levelling the truck out... yours didn't?

You could just lower the rear a tad, if tire clearance isnt a issue. Putting 8 inch coils on is going to be hard to align right if not impossible. A 4 inch drop pitman arm is needed on 6 inch lifts. \---o-/
