Lift?

00 F.150 2X4. I want to put 35's on it. I was thinking to do the 3 inch lift spindles for the front. and 2 inch blocks in the rear. and also a 3 inch body lift. do you guys think this is the way to go if i want to clear 35's. Thanks

What motor do you have in it.. If it's a V6 our going to have to re gear unless you dont want to be able to pass your own shadow..But ya body lift and 3" spindles your good.. Its what I had on my last 02 but I had to re gear even with 33's

You will clear them, and it wont ride like crap. I have a 3inch body lift. They do not affect the suspension at al. It also depends on which tires you run. What tires are you going with?
