Skyjacker 3 and 6 inch lifts?

ok i know ive seen this on a billion threads already about how ****ty the 3 inch lift is cause of the cv angles n such but ive read some where they say its good for a 4x2 cause they dont have to worry bout the angles n such..my question is..since i have a 4x2 would a 3 inch be good with my 3 inch body lift..and why is the 6 inch skyjacker lift so cheap for a 4x2..

$518.53
Skyjacker Suspension Kit
2004-2007 Ford F-150
"SKYJACKER COMPONENT BOX -- 6 Lift, Suspension Kit, System Box, With Manufacturer's Limited Lifetime Warranty"
Fit Note: 2 Wheel Drive

do i need to buy extra parts..and if so..what..be better off with the 6 and take off my body lift or keep it and get a 3? with like 34 tires cause i have a 4.6..? thanks for any answers in advance..sorry bout the same ole chit.

if u were to get the 3in, id just stick with a leveling kit, the 2.5 as yeilds almost 3in at 1/4 the price.

but if ur feelin saucy , i would get the 6in lift keep the body lift, ( to much effort to take off) , regear and throw some 37's on there

That cannot be the entire lift kit for $500.
Also, I would not go with any 3 inch kit, even on a 4x2. No, you don't have to worry about CV joints, but your ball joint angles are still gonna be horrible.

if u just put on the body lift, u still have the factory rake
u need a leveling kit if u want it sit level in addition to the BL

any pics?
