body lift orrr?

I have a 2002 ford f150 2wd extended cab. I don't really plan on taking it offroad often since it is 2wd and all, I just want it to sit higher, look beast. I have been reading a lot about suspension lifts and body lifts and leveling kits and just can't seem to decide. My dad has a 2005 ford f150 4wd supercrew and it just looks so much bigger than mine. Any ideas?

BL is a pretty popular way to go. Will give you a more aggressive look, cost around $1000 for parts/labor depending on where you take it. If you wanted to do something with the suspension you could run a leveling kit or coil overs and a AAL in the rear

Depends what you want to spend and wheter or not your gonna install it yourself.

theres at least one spindle lift setup forsale in the the classifieds now that will get you almost 6" lift that installed yourself would be cheaper than having someone install a BL for you

PM me. I might have someone to help you/do an install. BL should be nowhere near $1k

I guess I'm going to go with a 3 inch suspension because my cousin is going to put it in for me for free. It's nice having a mechanic as a relative.

suspension is the way to go. body lifts are good if you want bigger tires, but thats about it.
