Some added lift

Hey,

I was just wondering what I could do to get some more lift on my 03 2wd screw. I already have a 7.5 inch fabtech lift on it with 35" tires, I know I could do a body lift, but what else works well? I have seen coil spacers, but do they work and look good? If I could just get some help and advice on what to do that would be great.

Thanks for all the help

Alex

I think I would go with a body lift if I were you.

I have considered doing the body lift but to get a 3" body lift installed on my truck it would cost around $500 for labor . That is why I have been looking into other options

i dont think you have coils to put spacers on ? so that wont work
and you could put the body lift on yourself in a day, if you have any kind of mechanical skills... its not that hard to do

What kind of coil spacers are you talking about?? On the new f150's (and toyota's too) you can put coil spacers that bolt into your struts. All I have seen for 03 and earlier f150's is a rubber dounut like spacer and those useless coil spacers that crank up about 1 inch, (ones sold at autozone and pepboys). Anyway if you know of some other type of coil spacers, other than what i mentioned, please let me know about them and where to get. I was never able to find safe enough coil spacers for my truck!

The coil spacers that I have been looking into to buying are made by Daystar you can find them at 4wheelparts.com I believe
