Leveling kit or lift?
I bought an 05 F-150 FX4 a few months ago and have decided it's time for a few mods. I would like to start with a lift, but unfortunately don't know much about them. I don't want to spend the money on an all new suspension, so i was wondering if i can put spacers in the front and rear. If so, what sizes and brands do you reccommend? I want an obvious lift but i also dont want to feel obligated to buy new rims and tires just to make it look right. If not possible, then i guess a leveling kit is the next best thing, so what size and brand would i need for that? thanks for any help.

If you lift/level at all you will wish you went with bigger tires at least...Auto spring makes great quality stuff and you could get their 2" kit that won't add too much lift to the front end

Depending on how much cash you got to spend. Rims/Tires/Supension lift can easily set you back 5 grand, depending on lift/rims/tires you can choose

I had a leveling kit installed when I bought my truck and I couldnt beat the urge to make it bigger. Once you start modding up you want to keep going highe its a disease. have fun with it and be safe
