Suspension help

Just looking for a little bit of input guys... OK i have a 04 F150. I just picked up some 305/50/20 (used) and will get the wheels this week. I have a 2.5 level kit on the truck but i think i want to go a bit higher but i don't want to lose the smooth ride. I was thinking of maybe a 2" or 3" body kit.. The plan is to ride on the 305 til they are worn out then going to a 325/65/20ish! So the question, the body kit, yay or nay?

Do they even may a 2" body lift for our 04-08 trucks ??

Unless you do your own labor I think you would probably be money ahead going with a full suspension lift. Body lifts on newer body styles take some time from what I hear.

^^^ True. Having a BL installed by a shop is almost the same cost as a low end lift kit.

PA makes a 3" that i will go with. My main concern is i don't want to lose the ride. I had an 04 with a 6" lift and it drove like a tank.. Thanks guys!

If you can install the body lift yourself it's a great value.
