Performance Accessories is the manufacturer of the body lift. They are available just about everywhere like 4Wheel Parts, Summit Racing, etc. By the way, which engine do you have? I don't know what is so different on the new F-150's but PA says the body lift is only for trucks with the 5.4. I hear they are working on one for the 4.6 trucks.

Yes, 3 inches is the limit on body lifts.

Because i have an XL, i do not have the thin black fender trim like the other f150s. Does anyone know where i can get those...no luck on ebay yet. After I lift it I think it will look silly without em

The hitch will look akward, the tow hooks will be the same, especially if you have a bull bar. There will be a space between the frame the rear fender wells.

The biggest disadvantage to a body lift is you are limited to 3 inches of lift. The advantages are the ride will not be affected, they are cheaper than a suspension lift and your warranty will not be affected. As mentioned, you need to get a set of PA's Gap Guards to cover up the 3 inch gap in the wheelwells. You can usually get creative to clean up the looks of a body lift in relation to the tow hooks, tail pipe, etc.
