What's a PA 3" body lift?

I have an 04 F150 4x4 lariat. I am adding a 2.5" leveling kit and an aal. I just bought my BFG mud 35" tires.

So can I add a PA 3" body lift?
Any pictures out there with this set up?

Any problems with this setup?

yes you can put on a body lift. there isn't really anything to it. you need part number 70063. here's a link to the instructions: http://www.performanceaccessories.co...ions/70063.pdf

3" PA body lift AND 2.5" leveling kit with AAL pics!!!

I like your set up.

So why are more people not using the much cheaper PA 3" body lift and the leveling kit? It seems much cheaper of a set up.

Any problems with this set up. Post pics if you got them.

different people have different opinions and i've heard most of them. we sell about 30 body lifts a week.

The Good
cheap 3" of lift
easy (for the most part)


The Bad (why i don't like them)
if you're doing ANY kind of shows, i think the body lifts shows off too much underbody.
blocks can crack (i had one guy call in and say he needed 1 body block. said he was out wheeling and he "GUESSES" it just fell out.)
while the blocks do allow for taller tires, the only good way to fit your wider tires is with a suspension lift.

Everyone has opinions, but I love body lifts, if done corectly. THe negatives are basically you are limited to 3 inches of lift and they are a pain to install on the 04-07's. The pros are the low price (if you can install it yourself) and your ride quality is not affected.

If you are doing the body lift to only fit your 35's, the leveling kit will be enough if you are staying with the stock rims.

With a leveling kit and 3" body lift would 35 12.50s rub on a 4.5 back spaced wheel that was 18x10?

Yeah, but it will be a little tight because of the wheel. If you used a wheel with more backspacing (like 5.5 or 6 inches) or an 18x9 inch wheel, you would have more room.
