Message:
for all of those that have a fabtech, how is the rear end of the truck lifted? Isn't it with an add a leaf? how does an add a leaf work on a truck with the axle over the spring, if my thinking is correct wouldn't this lower the truck?

right now my truck is racked backwards and I would like it level so I only need about an 1 inch of height in the back.

can this be acheived with a set of those helper spring airbags? cause those would be benificail for towing and carrying heavy loads.

the add a leaf from fabtech lifts the truck 1 1/2 " and on 2wd the leafs are under the axle on 4x4 they are over I beleive , either way It'll raise your truck that much , and will give you better loading capacity and also ride a little stiffer , for my taste It's fine better than stock I tink , but it's not like night and day difference , just a little ........

I used the fabtech add-a-leaf and it didn't raise it enought to be level with the front so i got some rear 2 inch shackles and they did the job :) more articulation too :)

Message:
the truck stock sits higher in the back than front , so when you lift your truck 3" in the front you raise the back 1 1/2 " call fabteck and ask how much the add a leafs raise the rear , call 4 wheel parts ............. you'll see
