Default 2006 lift help!!

i have a 2006 IFS 1500, i put the 6 inch fabtech basic system( spacer is on top) the truck nose dives a good 2 inches. I took it to my local off road shop and a leveling kit would not work bc of the spacer already there. I was wondering if anyone knows how i could level the truck without lowering the back.. Input greatly need! thanks

I know a lot of guys with the 6" fabtech kit, although it's far from my favorite kit, I don't know of a single guy reporting that issue. My guess is something isn't right with the install...

What all came with your lift kit? Spindles? Springs? Spacers? Blocks? Shackles?

See if you could get under your truck and snap some pictures, I'll be able to help you out a bit if I can see what you're working with. Just from reading I'm guessing they didn't install a component all-together, or you might have 5" blocks in back instead of 3"

hey, sorry for no photos i broke my camera and have to get a new one. But i was wondering, i was told i could use the rancho quick lift setup in place of my current strut/coil. Would this work?
