Installing Fabtech 4.5" lift but will it be level?

[MGleason]

I have a 2006 2500 Mega Cab. In stock form my truck is sitting 1. 5" lower in the front than the rear. I am about to install a Fabtech 4. 5" lift. The lift comes with 4. 5" coils and a 1" block for the rear. Seems like after that is installed I will be 2" high in the front. Am I missing something? My truck comes stock with what appears to be three chopped off leaf springs under the spring pack. Do 3500 trucks have a bigger stock block?

That is odd. My block for my TC are much taller. Love the TC lift. Also went with Bilstein's which are very nice.



FYI Interesting note on the subject of how much "lift" you will get:



"This Fabtech 4. 5" lift kit is designed to fit all 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 series 4wd trucks. Please note, MegaCab models may achieve less than 4. 5" of lift due to their additional cab weight. "

Your Fabtech kit will ride low in the rear. Almost every Fabtech kit rides a little low in back(truck kits, Jeeps seem level). It is kinda a prerunner look. Just buy a block from TC or SuperLift out of their 4" to 4. 5 kits. Then your good to go if you do not like the *** sagging a little. My Mega Cab has 6" TC with a 4" block in back. It sits level as can be.

Sounds like I need a 3" block.



Does anyone have part numbers for bilstein shocks to work with a 4. 5" lift?
