Strut extensions

I currently have 2" strut extensions on my 2005 f150 XLT and was wondering if it could be possible to add another 3" strut extension on top of the 2"?

No way unless you buy a lift kit. You will not be able to get your struts in.

Your only option for another 3" of lift is a body lift. Or you can go up 4,6,8,12" with suspension lifts.

Then a full suspension lift is your only option.

i agree with everything that has been posted up to this point.

if you do a suspension lift, you could end up in the same situation you already are though. i'd try and either find a lift that has a AAL in it and just not install theirs, get any lift and be prepared to change out your rear block for a smaller one, or get a lift and leave your spacer on as well for 8" of lift.

if you are 2wd, then 35's on 8" should look good.

If i were to take off the 2 inch suspension and put on a full 4 inch, do you think that might level it out?

yea, i have a feeling if you are truly 3" higher in the rear that you would not need to mess with the rear end at all though when lifting with a 4" kit.

unless you want to keep stock wheels i'd go with a 6". should be the same price for a 4" or 6"
