Lift???

First off, I have a 05 XLT 2WD. I have read threads about everything from shocks that are used instead of the leveling kits. I have also been looking at a Skyjacker 3" lift. I am looking for an stance that has some attitude. I am also running stock wheels, and don’t have the money to upgrade to the larger wheels. Well that and I just bought new tires (265/65R17 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor)

Any ideals on what I should do?

Do not use a 3 inch kit. The severe ball joint angles it creates will wear them out prematurely.

Wandell,
Is that the leveling kit or lift kit. I have read that the 3" leveling kit is a bad deal due to the angles. Is that the same warning for a Sup Lift?
Thanks for the help

The 3 inch Skyjacer suspension lift is just longer coilover shocks so it has the same affect as a 3 inch spacer.
