Does anyone make a rear 1" rear add a leaf lift? I just put on a 6" pro comp lift, that is "supposed" to lift the front 6" and the rear 3inch; however, the rear lift blocks weren't exactly 3 inches, they were more like 2.6-2.75 inches...needless to say, the front is slightly higher than the rear, and for some reason, I am uber picky and want a level truck (and I'd even prefer if the rear was a tad higher than the front)...so trying to see what other options I have.

Any thoughts?

Skyjacker (Summit Racing also carries them for Skyjacker). I prefer leaf springs versus blocks myself (especially for serious off roading) and I can't stand lifts that make trucks sit higher in the front than the rear.

I should preface by saying that I do absolutely zero off-roading...lol, I'm such a poser its not even funny!! hahaha but yeah, I really can't stand when a truck is higher in the front....thanks for the heads up on the skyjacker leaf spring, I'll check them out on the web!!

Well, at least you make no bones about it. :) I would lift my truck if I could but I need to be able to haul a gooseneck horse trailer and I wouldn't off road my beastie anyway. So, I guess the new wheels (if they ever arrive) and taller tires will have to work (with the Cummins when I get that put in). :D

You could also look into a 1" zero rate.Goes on the bottom of your spring pack and attaches with your centre pin,so it is not sitting there like a normal lift block.
