Trucks With Body Lifts

Can you guys direct me to a person or a thread of someone with a 04-07 F150 with a PA 3" Body Lift. I have been searching for about an hour. Thanks

Cliff2026: That lift looks very good on your truck! Do you have a spacer or any other lift items installed or just the body lift?

I only have the body lift. I bought and have a 2.5 levelling kit at home. I'm going to ride around for a few weeks with just the lift and see how it goes. My driveway is a little pitched so I'll take some tomorrow on flat ground and one from ahead and behind

Thanks for the replies guys. WRK4GAS, i looked all over for your truck. Cliff your truck looks awesome too. I just ordered mine today. 4 Wheel Parts had the 06 kit in. I am going to keep the leveling kit on too. I ordererd 35x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson MTZ's to put on my stock rims, i like my stockers so no need to upgrade, for now . They are an awesome looking tire, so much better in person. They are supposed to be instlled this coming Friday and Saturday. So i will gladly be posting pics the beginning of next week.

Athill, the downsides are no increase in ground clearance, slightly more top heavy. But on the plus side it is cheap and gives the needed clearance for bigger tires.

You do get more ground clearance......... with the taller tires

Also, what do you think about a 3" body lift with 2" levelling kit and a 1.5" add a leaf would this be a decent amount of lift for the money without going to a suspension lift? not trying to jack your thread.

Well tohi2care, you do have me there. For every inch of tire you go up you do get .5" of ground clearance. Also, that combination is what i will be going for. The way i look at it, we can get 5.5" inches of lift in the front and 5-6" in the back for a lot less than a suspension lift. OF course the angles are hurt but you can buy a few sets of ball joints for the difference in price.

Otem, the best price i could find was performancelifts.com for about $310.

Yes there is very few that i have found with an 04 - 07. There is one guy, i believe his user name is theanimal, i havent seen him around in a while. He has a screw fx4 with a 6inch suspension and 3inch body lift. He runs 37's with 20 moto metals. It's one of the cleanist looking trucks on here imo.
