Lift depends on how much you want. Run springs or coils.... buy ones for the amount of lift you want. Simple. Any lift height you can dream up is posible.
it would be worlds better. Solid axle is million times stonger then FACTORY ifs. It would ride stiffer, but handle the tires much easier. Wear and tear wouldn't be as severe as IFS, and you'd be able to wheel it a little vs. totally useless IFS. Since you ahve said your a pavement queen.... IFS might work for you. Still would be sweet to have a solid front F150. It would be beef ! And cheaper then a new superduty, and far more custom as well.
You'd need a new front driveshaft either route you go.

Ok well then i guess it would be better to run a solid axel swap with this truck and not sure what i should get either coils or springs. I like the looks of the coils but give me ideas or opinions as well. Maybe even pictures. I will be in Iraq here in the next month and plan on re enlisting so there for that bonus money will be the money i use for all this. I will have someone do all the work for me while i am gone if i decide to go with the sas.
But i also got a quote from 4wheelparts ( i know they are starting to have a bad rep but just got a qoute ) that said:
3inch Body Lift I Have Laying Around: Free
12inch Rize Complete Front And Rear: $6,593.93
41x14X5 R18 Iroks ( i think non bias ): $1,783.59
5.13 Gears Front And Rear: $450ish
Total: 8,847.46
