block/spring ?

ok i did some searches and thats why i have this ?... i got the 6in basic fabtech lift kit for my 06 f250... i read the cons of stacking the blocks.... so i was wondering if its ok to get some rear 6in springs by a different say pro comp... from what im reading stacking blocks is a no no... or if any one else could give me some other info would be great... i mainly looking to get rid of the blocks the kit came with for some rear springs

you could do and brand spring. you could also do a smaller lift spring and a block if it will save you some money. i do know that they make 5" lift blocks though. your 250 only has 2" factory blocks. how much lift was it for the rear in the kit you got?if the front lift was 6", i'd bet the rear was only about 4" or so.

you could get the 6" lift leaf springs from anyone and just remove the factory block totally.
