3in lift.... a few questions

Well I want to lift my truck up, and a friend of mine has a 3in, and i love the look. A little info on my truck and me.. im only 16 so im getting 6.65/hr so price needs to be somewhat cheap. I drive a 2000 F150 2WD 4.7l, with new 30" all-terrain tires. I found this lift kit on ebay for $150.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...QQcmdZViewItem

I wanting to make sure that it's not known for bad quality... since im new to the whole lifting thing.
Also, I ran this idea by my parents and they pretty much shot it down for a few reasons. Cost- i told them im paying every cent of it, Insurance- there telling me that it will raise the insurance, im not sure if it does, but if so how much? if yall know, please speak up, and they also say its ruining the "integrity" of my truck... which i think is a load of crap... am i wrong?

Please let me know what you think..

The Performance Accessories body lift is the best body lift on the market. It should not affect your insurance rates and it will not hurt your truck. I'm on my third truck with a PA body lift and have never had a problem.

im in the same boat. my mom loves the idea of me lifting it, but my dad hates it. but im graduating in like 2 weeks, so im gonna make them buy it for my grad present. im going with a 6" fabtech kit. if ur only gonna do 3", id stick with a body lift. btw, where in houston are you? i live right outside of the city

Thanks, i need to call up my insurance company ans ask if they make higher rates.. I personaly know that it won't ruin my truck, but proving it to them is the hard part.

and I live in katy (mayde creek)
