Question lift kits

Which benefits more, a 3in body lift or 6in suspension lift?? What is the pros and cons of both. I cant decide if I want to spend the money on a susp lift if I don't really need it. When I can get a body lift for 150$$

Both are great products. The body lift is a great value, but you are limited to only 3 inches of lift. A suspension lift allows you to go bigger. It boils down to how much money you want to spend and how large you want to go. Several members have done both.

are you planning on installing the body lift yourself?

if not from what others have posted your looking at about $800 for the body lift and they have also said alot of shops wont touch the nbs f150's for body lift installation.

downside to body lift you only gain height from tires to raise frame height. also for body lift you need gap guards to make it look nice.

if you dont want to spend 2k after install on suspension lift then go with a 2.5AS leveling kit and the body lift. its really all preference on what you want and what your willing to spend.
