Thumbs up 3" lift Kit with a 3" leveling Kit Questions

I have installed a 3" leveling kit on my 04 F150 2WD SCREW. No problems with running 35's and looks good. I love it but want to go a bit higher and put 37's on the truck. I bought a 3" body lift but looking at the 3" suspension lift it looks like the suspension lift would be easier to install. I just need to know if the 3" SKYJACKER suspension lift will work with, and give me additional lift, the 3" level kit installed. Or do I just negate the 3" suspension lift in the front with the level kit. Hope this isn't too confusing, I just want a level 4- 6" of lift.

No, you can't combine a leveling kit and the 3 inch Skyjacker lift. It's just a 3 inch longer coilover shock. I don't think you could get the front end bolted back together with that combo. I'd suggest adding a body lift or just go with a 6 inch Fabtech or Pro Comp lift.

definetly wrong, I have Kuhmo Road Venture MT's 35X12.5X18 and they run great, a slight rub when backing up and cutting 3/4 to the left that's it and I think it looks great.
I have the truck in my albums
