Im not sure if this would even work and I couldn't find any threads on this but is it possible to ONLY install 4 inch lift knuckles without the rest of a 4 inch lift kit so that I could install a 3.5 inch leveling kit and have angles that aren't so extreme(control arm)? I currently have a bone stock 04 2wd f150 besides a 2.5 inch leveling kit with 33's. The reason for wanting to attempt this is because I love the look of a leveled 4wd with 35's and would like to get to that height and have 35's as well. I also don't have over a $thousand to put into an entire lift kit but I can afford a $500 set of lift knuckles. (Rough country will sell just the knuckles out of their kit for that price.) Like I said, I'm not sure if this would even work but I would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

No. It won't your angles will be worse. You have to compensate the larger knuckle with moving the lower control arm down. This is the other part of a lift kit.

How about swapping out my 2wd knuckles for stock 4wd knuckles. From a couple diagrams that I've looked at, the knuckles look interchangeable. They seem to be the only difference in making the 4wd trucks able to be about 2 inches bigger and have the same angles. What do you think?

Get the baja kits 4" lift spindle. It's made for your truck and keeps factory angles.

Darn, I would but Baja kits are pricey. Looks like I'm going to be sticking to my level and 33's. Just cant afford my taste. Haha
