Lifted F150

i have a 05 f150 xlt 4x4 5.4L v8. im lookin for a bigger look and ride. tons of different setups are running threw my head also the wide range of priceing is also making it hard. Idealy id love to have a 3 inch suspension lift with a 2.5 leveling kit, 3 inch body lift. lookin to put 35" tires. to start out im lookin to do a 2.5 leveling kit and was thinkin about an add-a-leaf by pro comp for the rear. to give me a little bigger look for about 300 bucks. and could prob get away with 33-34" tires. my concern is am i able to ontop of the 2.5 leveling kit and add-a-leaf for the rear, am i able to "add or "stack" a 3 inch suspension and 3 inch body lift. hopefully yall know what im trying to get across. plz help!! thanks. also if i did a 2.5" leveling kit and a add-a-leaf what size tires can i get away with.

you can run a suspension lift with a body lift.... there are no suspension lift that exsist that are 3"s. you can run a 2.5+a 4" plus a 3" body but that would all be pointless. a 4" lift is as much as a 6" lift, you can put a body lift ontop of that aswell.

and you dont need a AAL in the rear to fit 35's

just go with a six inch... seriously.. all that adding its gonna come out to the same as getting a 6" lift. and if u want save urself A LOT of money and get a 8" rize cuz ur gonna want to go bigger when u get a 6" ..u will have rubbing on 35's with just a leveling kit if u dont have the perfect wheels with the perfect offset so that they wont rub.

if you are serious about a 3", I think skyjacker still makes a three inch kit. The other guys are right though. You will want to go bigger.

I understand what you are saying. You want to fit 35's, but you can't afford to get tires, wheels and lift at once. I'm in the same boat, I can't afford everything I want. THis is what I would suggest. First, I would add a 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit. This will allow you to fit 35x12.50's using your OEM wheels. When you get some more money, I'd install a standard 6 inch Pro COmp suspension lift and sell the leveling kit. Then finally, add some wider aftermarket wheels.
