first of all hi all. I'm brand new and have been layin in the weeds doing reading now for about 2 weeks trying to educate myself. I bought a new f150 fx4 05. I've never owned a truck in my life and would like to do some mods. I'm on a budget and don't want to be cheap but cost is a big factor. I want to do a skyjacker 3in lift and was wondering if I could do a 2in or so body lift in addition to that kit. I really want to throw on 35's and get as much lift as my budget will afford without seeing an enourmous body gap.

Thanks guys!!!

Im going to give you a straight forward answer on your question. The Skyjacker 3" kit is what? $500 The body lift which is $280. Are you planning on installing the kit? If so you might save a FEW dollars. But, I've seen the standard Procomp 6" kit for around $1100 which would be A LOT better option for what you want and it wouldn't be putting the stress on your tie-rods, CV axles, and other front suspension parts that the Skyjacker 3" kit will create. However, its your money and this is just my suggestion.

 

I think you should be able to fit those 35" tires under just a 3" skyjacker

 

I can't really say. I don't know if my old truck was just a complete piece of junk or it the lift too. I'll tell you how the Fabtech is though!
