want either a 3" body or suspension lift. which one is better? wouldn't mind saving some money. And if were to get a body lift or suspension lift, what's with the leveling kits, do you really need a leveling kit with either lift??

Thanks again

Hi patriot
Hey patriot, to give you an idea how it looks with the procomp lift. Also, you are definitly better of to get a suspension lift if you want to go off-road.
The total price including install for my truck $6,000
Warn winch 9.5 xp
Transformer kit
Rims
BFG AT
6" Procomp

You don't need a leveling kit because the front ride height of your truck is adjustable with the torsion bars. As for suspension lifts, go to 4Wheel Parts website and look at their prices to get a general idea. The two best lifts for our trucks are probably the 6 inch Fabtech and 5 inch RCD lifts, but there is nothing wrong with the other lifts made by Pro Comp, Rancho, etc.

Hey Patriottruck,
I just had my truck lifted with the Fabtech 6" lift and new rims and tires. My bill was $4800 total - including installation and alignment. Just thought I would let you know what I paid. I will be posting before and after shots as soon as I can get some free time to do so.

3" body lift
I was wondering if anybody had any pictures of an F-150 with just a 3" body lift. I am planning on putting a 3" body lift on my F-150 and i was also wondering what kind of tires i should try and put on.
