    Bought this vehicle used and it has obviously been lifted. The front is an inch higher than the back and would like to level it out. Not sure if its a suspension, spacer, or whatever lift but trying to get some answers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.Chase

    Looks like a front spacer lift with no lift in the rear. You could add a AAL or block in the rear to get you leveled out.

    If I put a spacer in the rear would the ride still be good? I pull an aluminum 18ft boat and sometimes a side by side. Is this type lift sufficient? Thanks. Chase

    You need an add a leaf or leaf pack in the rear. Preferably a leaf pack over an aal. Either will work and yes it will be fine with pulling an 18ft boat. Wouldn't recommend a block as I have one and get bad vibes with it. Although a 1 or 1.5" block should work without vibes. Mine is a 2" Learn from my mistake.

    Spacers are for the front. Leaf pack is best for the rear, then AAL, then a block.
    2" block between the leaf springs and axle.

    Best bet would be our 3 leaf aal set. Will provide about 1.5" of lift, to match what you got up front, and will help the rear ride better.

    A 1.5inch lift in the rear would then have my truck facing down at an unleveled position. I'm an inch higher in the front.

    Mine is almost an inch higher in the rear and I like it just fine and it looks great!! So a half inch is nothing really and if you think about it if you ever haul or put a load in the back you won't be nose high :D

    Also, you might wanna have your alignment checked bc from the pics it looks like your tires are getting ate up on the inside.
