Leveling kit and springs??

I was wondering what is the highest you can go on the front without any problems. I have a 2.5'' leveling kit now with the 5200lbs springs so I hear that 6000lbs springs will raise it up another inch or so? do you have to take the leveling kit off for the stiffer springs?? Thanks in advance...

I don't have any experience with this, but if you have the shackle kit, theres only one way to find out!!! I'd leave it on and install the stiffer leafs and see if it rubs. Might alter track bar position.

I would think that it may start getting into the area of needing an adjustment of pinion angle but I am only guessing.
