ram 1500 6 inch lift with level kit?
thanks for the info and yes my truck is a 4X4, i think im going to try it with the level kit in and see how it works, maybe throw a one inch block in the rear if my truck is looking up at the sky.
here is my truck right now (before pics)

It wasn't meant to be accurate, if he doesn't know enough about suspension geometry to know weather he can stack lift kits or not then he shouldn't be screwing with it. The 6" lift he wants to use was engineered to keep proper geometry keeping the suspension working as it was designed and the vehicle safe to use on the streets we all drive on. Cheating the system by trying to stack a level kit and a 6" lift might work if you knew what you are doing and possibly knew how to fabricate brackets to correct any angles you might screw up, but if you have to ask, that leaves you in the category of "Don't F--- with it".
Besides all that the combo I suggested has been used by several people on here successfully, and coming from the knowledge I gained from owning/wheeling a jeep wrangler, combining suspension lift with body lift gets you the height you want while maintaining a lower center of gravity.

With a kit such as the 4x4 6" fabtech the geometry doesnt change. Its a simple kit utilizing drop brackets for the lower a-arms and taller spindles thus keeping the upper a-arms in the stock location. Yes, some of the kits ask you to crank the torsion bars a bit to dial in the ride height, but running a aftermarket torsion key in addition to that is no different than on a stock unit. I do parts at a dodge dealership and have seen several lifted 02-05 rams using fabtech, rough-country etc etc...
I say run it, and make sure your allignment tech knows what kind of work has been done.
