OK, please help me with decision.

I have went back and forth; don't know what to do. I have a 04 XLT 2wd SCrew (new body style). Should I get a leveling kit (which one daystar?) and then a 3 in body lift? I want the lifted look but nothing extreme. Does any of the body lifts level the front at the same time or do I need the leveling kit with the body lift? Sorry I just don't know how it all works but I know what I want it to look like. Thanks guys

Body lift will not level your truck. I would suggest a 2inch autospring for your truck with a 3inch body lift and 35s on stock rims.

you can get the 2wd basic procomp or basic fabtech kits pretty cheap. i'd look into those, as they are suspension lifts and will level your truck out and wont put a gap in your frame.

KeithBennett is right. If you can install the Autospring leveling kit and a body lift yourself, they are a great value. However, I hear body lifts are a real pain to install on the 04-08's so shops charge a lot for labor. If you have to pay someone to install the body lift and/or a leveling kit, you will be better off to go with the 6 inch Pro Comp lift kit. This will allow you to fit 35's on your truck. I'd suggest an 18x9 inch wheel (with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing) and a set of 325/60-18 (33x13.00) or 325/65-18 (35x13.00) tires.

OK guys I really appreciate your help. I will have to see what the wallet can do. I may just end up with a leveling kit and 265.70.17 tires and be done with it. Thanks Again
