Skyjacker lift with leveling kit

I am looking at getting a 3" skyjacker lift kit, along with a 2" leveling kit for my 2wd 2006 f150. I was wondering if it's possible to even install these two together, and if so, would i need to change out any springs, shocks, or anything else or would this be it? If so, would this raise the front 5" and the back 3" or would there be some sort of difference? I am new to the lifting part of trucks, and not sure how different parts work with one another, so sorry for the simple questions.

Would this change the ride quality either or put any uneeded stress on the struts or shocks of the truck or would everything underneather be in shape? Thank you all.

No you can't install both. Your ball joints will be at way too severe of an angle with both. I'd just go with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. You could add a 3 inch body lift if you are trying to keep cost down.

Thanks. Now what if i just did the 3" suspension lift instead of leveling, only because i think i can get the lift at a very inexpensive price through a friend and it raises the truck up more and raises the back as well, but will this cost a large amount to install? The skyjacker has shocks and springs for the front and add-a-leaf for the back but the problem with adding this over the leveling kit is i want a level look and its a lot cheaper for almost the same height, the only reason i would do the skyjacker over body lift is for cost but if i cant do skyjacker with the leveler that eliminates that option. thank you and let me know.

A couple of members here and FTW have had the Skyjacker lift and removed it. There must be a reason everyone else limits their lifts to 2.5 inches. An Autospring leveling kit and a taller lift block for the rear is still much cheaper
