Suspension and body lift

Hello, I am looking to lift my 2003 Ford F-150.I'd like to put a 5 inch Rough Country Suspension lift on it and a 3 inch Performance Accessories Body lift on it.Then I'm going to put 35's on it.Could you guys post pictures of something close to this.I wanna see what it will look like before I do it because I dont want anything really high.Also with the 5 inch suspension lift, will I need to do any work to the drive shafts?And do you think I will need wheel spacers on the truck to clear the wheels ? Thanks for the help!

to clear what wheels?

why not just get a true 6" lift and crank the torsion bars to get to 7-8" and not have a body lift?

BigBuck - I just deleted the other thread you started on this subject. Please don't post multiple threads about the same thing. It just takes up space and clutters the forum.

If you need to "clarify" anything on this subject, do it in this thread.

- Jack

Not that I'm aware of. I don't know any 6" kits for the 10th gen f150's that require a new driveshaft. The stock one should work just fine.

why do you want a body lift so bad? if you have to buy a suspension lift buy a full 6" kit and crank the t-bars to get you the lift you want. Then decide if you want more lift or not.

you can fit that with just a body lift or a suspension lift. its all in what you want and what your budget is.

Your stock gear ratio. If you don't know get the axle code from inside the driverside door jamb and google it.
