Question Coil Spacer lift quick question

Have a quick question about Installing a 2.5" Rough Country Coil Lift/level question. Ok so the way the kit is designed it lifts 2.5" in the front with a coil spacer lift in the front and the 2" lift block in the rear. The combo levels the truck out upon installation. My question is, if you don't want the truck leveled out when the lift is installed can you just remove the stock rubber spring isolator? Wouldn't that remove .75" ish from the amount of front lift?

Yeah, it would knock you down a bit, but oh boy, would it be noisy over bumps. You can try it, but, I don't recommend it.

Also, I am REALLY not a fan of stacking blocks. That has always seemed like a really bad idea to me. Might wanna look at an alternative for the rear, that gives a bit more than 2" in the back, to keep the rake you want. (and skip the rear blocks.)

Is it possible to do a shackle flip on the rear to lift the back like say a super duty ford? And good note on the isolator, I really didn't take into consideration that it would be noisy.

Yeah, shackle flip is eminently doable. I think there is a thread around here somewhere, that a member did exactly that.
