stacking lift kit with leveling kit

Wondering if anyone has ever used a 2" leveling kit with a 6" lift before to gain a total of 8 inches of lift or if anyone can fore see any problems with this setup. Why would anyone want to do such a thing you might be asking? Well I lifted my truck (2008 F350 4x4) with a procomp 6" suspension lift and ever since I put it on I wished I would have went with an 8".

it'll ride like a brick. is the extra height worth that? i dont think the leveling kit will do what you want.... reason being, a leveling kit is basically an extra leaf that has more arch than the stock springs. when added to the pack it is strong enough to persuade the rest of the leaves to arch with it giving a hair more lift, i'd a full 2" is generous and really aimed at older, more saggy springs. i would imagine (as i have never been in this predicament) the arch would be the same if not more with lift leaf packs and the leveling leaf would just make the ride rougher if not take some lift away (depending on the arch)

I think your talking about a truck that rides on leafs. The 08 rides on coils up front and any leveling kit i've seen for this system consists of a spacer that sits either on top or bottom of the coils...

it will throw your suspension geometry off a bit...why you want to lift it so high?
