I drive an 06 2wd f150 and it just sits too low, im not lookin to
spend too much money but want it bigger to fit 33's.
So far ive been thinking the 2" or 2.5" AS leveling kit, but my
friends been talking me up to a 3" body lift. Im also down to
crank the torsion bars (unless thats only 4x4), but not sure if thats damaging to the
truck or the ride. opinions greatly needed and pictures of what
other people have done to there 2wd's would be awesome

 

Your truck does not have torsion bars. You can fit 33's by using a 2.5 inch leveling kit. If you want to go up to 35's, add a leveling kit and a 3 inch body lift.

 

yeah i was just looking into the torsion bars when i saw that, how much do body lifts run though

 

Not sure on the 04-08's. I hear they are a pain to install on your truck though. If you have to pay someone to install it and a leveling kit, you will be about as well off installing a 6 inch Stage One Pro Comp lift.

 

yeah not looking to do that, would there be a noticeable difference between the 2.5" level and the 3" body lift?

 

Yes, because the leveling kit will only lift the front while the body lift will lift the entire truck 3 inches. Of course you can install a taller lift block out back with a leveling kit.

 

would the 33's clear easily with only a 2.5" level?

 

They will

 

you can easily clear 33s with the 2.5, but your rear will sag. AS sells blocks for the rear that are 1.5 or 3" depending on what you want. the shorter block will level a 2wd and the 3 will give it a slight rake (its really made for 4wd trucks with a level). i went with the 3 and am very pleased. i have pics in my profile of what it looks like with just front and then rear added if you want an idea of how it might look.

 

i just installed my two inch level tonight and my 4x2 truck looks much bigger. even more when i get larger tires

 

thanks for the help everyone

 

i did the 2.5" level kit and 2" block for the back. to me a slight rake but close to level and i love it. cost me about 220 and did the work myself. i would do that first and if you want more than do body lift. my opinion. body lifts are a pita for ours and cost between 500-600 for installed. although they are not a bad option for a slight rise.

you'll fit 33's no prob. 35's maybe will fit with less aggressive tread and minor trimming. good luck.
