Hello all,
i just want to know how you all feel about a leveling kit vs a body lift?? which you perfer.. and some pros and cons of them both??? Thanks

 

a body lift kit will give you a more aggressive, higher look, but it wont improve your suspension quality. a leveling or lift kit replaces suspension parts to give you a better ride. if you are looking just for a better look, a body lift kit would be fine. if you are looking for upgrading your suspension, a lift or level kit would be the best. i personally prefer a lift or leveling kit because of the fact that it uprades the suspension. good luck.

 

Most leveling kits dont upgrade your suspension. I'd install both

 

I agree why not go both

 

Great!! I wasnt sure if you could go with both??? any combo ideas!!! I sill want the back end to sit a little higher...thanks guys!!


And hey cliff did you have to get a new bumper to hide that gap??? or what fixed that.... Great lookin truck!!!

And you too wandell!!! i almost got one just like it!!!

 

sorry to jump on board but im thinking about a 2.5 autospring leveling kit because thats the company every seems to love...
also i would like to add a body lift but dont know what companies are high end...?
does anyone think that a 3" body lift is too much and the chasis could possibly be seen from that?

 

Did not need a new bumper just needed the correct brackets for the 06 kit. The shop used the 05 kit then had to wait for the 06 brackets to come out. I'm going to install Bilstein 5100 adjustable preload shocks up front to adjust the rake when I can come up with some money. And thansk for the compliments

 

Thats great!! so.. what would you recommend doing first??? the body lift or the leveling kit??? and your able to put both on?? hmmmm???

 

[IMG]largecar193[/IMG]Hi wandell im pretty new to the 4x4 world and I have a 05 fx4 5.4 and would like to lift the front end to match the rear height so is that a leveling kit and around how much am i looking at?

 

Yeah, sounds like you want a leveling kit. I'd recommend the Autospring kit. They are around $100 or less.

 

I say do both and a good set of tires will make it look good.

 

Definitely do both of them, of course i am slightly bias.

 

Thanks wandell that sounds great and afordible.
