Arrow Lift questions.

Hey everyone, new to the forums. I have a 03 f150 2wd and i am currently running a 3" body lift along with a 3" spindle lift and 2" coils. I have 33" mudders with room for 35s possibly. i want to go bigger and run 35s and regear. Will there be anymore stress then there already is on the suspension if i take the 3" spindle and 2" coils off and put on this 6.5" Springtech lift? i will post a link. If anyone has it, tell me the pros and cons. Thanks ! Lift Kit 6.5" - 97-03 Ford F150

Just order the control arms and 3" springs. Then you'd basically have the full lift except for your spindles being a 1/2" shorter. canuckmotorsports.com usually has the best prices.

If you have any questions or need pictures just let me know. I have the 6.5" and a 3" body lift, the same setup you're wanting to run.

I'm glad to hear that man. You should be able to run the spacer with this lift as well. Your angles would essentially be the same as a stock truck with a leveling kit. I actually had some slight positive camber after installing the new springs and control arms so if I would have put my old spacer on beforehand I would have been able to get an accurate alignment. One of these days when I finally order an add a leaf I'll be putting it back on though.
