No, just one of the beauties of a suspension lift is that, if designed properly, it will level the vehicle as well as performing a host of other benefits not afforded by less expensive lift types. Although Fabtech is usually considered the "bargain basement" of suspension lifts (if you can call $1700 bargain basement) they are still good quality, well designed units. The kit will consist of all the necessary components to lift the front as well as suspension lift blocks and mounting U-bolts for the rear. The blocks are usually about 2" give or take shorter than the front components, giving you a level or fairly level stance.
Some of the higher end kits, Skyjacker comes to mind, have add-a-leafs or even an entire leaf spring replacement set that also performs the task of lifting the rear. In this case, the springs are also designed to provide 2" or so less lift than the front components, again giving a level stance.

you can still crank the torsion bar to give it a lil pre runner look. But a 6" lift need 35" tires to look right. I hate when people are doing lifts to their ram when I can't. Posts pics when its done so I can drool over it.

agreed. The 6" lift will on its own help raise the front end a bit higher than the back. I know with my rough country 3" spindle lift, it mainly leveled it out.
