I have a pro comp 4” suspension lift kit with original struts and 4”strut spacers. I hate the fact that the truck its not even leveled and I want to know If I can add some 6” lifted struts/shocks to replace the strut and spacer. I dont mind it its going to raise the front more than level but I want to know if it will be safe and ill not be messing up other parts bad

I beleive if there was a 5” lifted strut that i could install it would make the truck level.
And with a 6” lifted strut basically it should sit just at 1” higher in the front, which I assume its not bad.
Right now it has the 4” strut spacer with an oem size strut
I really hate how the truck look the way it sits.

That’s a 6” lift and you have a 4th gen truck posted in the 5th gen section.

What year is your truck? Procomp makes more than 1 kit so I can figure out what you have going on from the year of your truck.

No worries I’m just pointing it out wrong sections tend to get less interaction.

It looks like a 6” most manufacturers will do between 3-5” in the rear on a 6” the 4” kits usually get 2-3” lift in the rear.

If you dont like the rake than that is fine (its all personal preference), but there is no way in hell i would want the back to be any less than 3/4-1” higher). It will look like its sagging ass. But if thats your thing then thats your thing.

Why not take the tall rear spacers out and replace them with a slightly shorter one?

Procomp spacers are all in ones the spacer and bump stops are all one piece. The cheap way for him to go is Bilstein 5100’s the expensive upgrade route would be coilovers. Then he can dial it in when he realizes that these rams don’t like being level. But like you said it’s all preference. @crazykid1994 and I have been recommended parts that don’t tie his hands up and leaves options on the table
