took off the leveling kit to put on 5 inch lift from rough country i was told that you couldnt put the leveling kit back on with the lift i was wondering if there was any truth in that cause i want to put it back on

thanks

control arms won't be long enough and will pull the axle rearward. many people do it. i know that 4 wheel parts will NOT double stack a lift. they got sued a few years ago for a big $$$$ and they won't even think about it. corporate policy now.

what problems would be caused by doin this

I had this done on my old truck. 6" superlift with 2" spacers. It worked and I liked the way it looked with that little bit of a rake. However it will pull the axle rearward and you may have some rubbing. Also it will pull the axle out the driver side of the truck and it will not be centered because the track bar will be too short. So if you plan on putting them in look into new link bars and and an adjustable truck bar.

will the shocks and brake lines be long enough? i dont want them to extend all the way out and be stuck

whats wrong with the 5inch lift does it not level the truck the way you want it or something? just alittle confused, im not real familar with lift kits thats why im asking

walks

the brake lines should be fine. The shocks may be a little short and my bottom out. The reason I left the leveling kit in mine is because the kit doesn't quite level the truck out and I like the look of a little Cali. rake to the truck.

thats the way i like them to sit too how far will it move the axle?

on mine With 2" spacers it pulled the axle back about an inch and shifted it sideways maybe 1-1/2". Not too noticeable unless you are looking head on with the front of the truck. I want to order spacers for my new mega cab but wasn't sure how the 2.5" ones looked. Do you like them? I prefer to have more than the standard 2 inches.

i liked it a lot just the way it sat i think looked better than the others that werent that high plus i got mine off ebay for 90 which was as much as the 2 so i said why not and got it and was happy
