Default Cant decide on a lift kit! Help!

I'm going to be lifting my 94 F150 in about a month and I cannot decide on which set up I want. I'm either going with a 6 inch suspension lift and a set of 35s, or I'm going to go with a 6 inch suspension lift with a 3 inch body lift and a set of 38s. Could you guys upload some pics of both setups? Give me your opinions and experience? And whether or not I'll have issues or anything extra I'll have to do.

8 inch suspension and 2 inch body (pretty much the same as the 6 and 3 lift give or take an inch) 2wd f150 302 longbox. I have endless amounts of information as I just finished putting the lift in a month ago. Its sitting on tiny 235's until its done getting painted. If you have any questions do ask!

That's looks nice what kind I lift is that? It's hard finding a suspension lift for a 2wd over 6 inches. I'm leaning towards rough country. And mines also 2wd. Am I going to have to install a leveling kit in the front or will the suspension lift level it out?

Keep the body tight to the frame if you want to go around corners. If not, it doesn't matter which way you go. I'm sure someone will disagree, but I've been there, done that, and that's my opinion.

Ya that's kinda what I'm thinking. Being that it's 2wd do I need a leveling kit for the front as well?

This is my 94 f250 extended cab long box. Fronts lifted 6", rear still has to go up. Also has 3" body lift. It's sitting on 35s. So basically exactly what your looking at. The hood of the truck is flush with the top of my head. I'm 5'6

Its a skyjacker 8 inch suspension, on a performance accessories 2" body lift. The skyjacker kit itself is 2000+ bucks so your better off getting a rough country 6" kit and a 3" body for less than 1000 bucks (keep in mind it will need an alignment afterwards) The Rough country kit lifts the front 6" and the lifts the rear 4" so it should level the truck out on its own.
