need help beautifying my truck
I am new to the forum and have a 06 f150 2wd. I would like to get a nice stance to my truck and have some backbone to go with it. I really like the camburg 7.0 but with me being 16 that is completely out of my budget. I was thinking of a 3 inch spindle lift with a pair of lift coils to give it a good stance. Is this going to be bad on my truck? Have any better ideas? I would like to get a good many of my aftermarket accessories (wheels, tires, etc...) for not to awful more than the camburg. I will be buying every part that goes on this truck and believe me when I say it! I ain't the 16 year old kid who gets his parents to buy everything for his truck I have to work for my parts! I would also greatly appreciate it if I didn't get kicked off this forum because I am not 18. I am just here for help. Thanks

A spacer is nothing like a body lift, a spacer simply gets bolted on top of the strut assembly giving you lift. You can find one new for around 100 bucks. I personally have bilstein adjustables that give me 2.75" lift i got for about $215. Going either of these routes does put more stress and angle on the front end components, but its all in how you drive also. If you just cruise around, obviously its going to be alot easier on them then if you want to jump it and off road and beat the **** out of your truck(thats how i was when i was 16 haha)
The next step from spacers or an adjustable strut is where you start getting into the full lift kits, for example, a basic pro comp kit is going to run you around 1200 for the kit alone. Hope this helps, have fun with building it up!

If you just want a more aggressive look, I would just do a leveling kit and wheel spacers. I haven't had a problem with either on my truck and it definitely give it a more aggressive look.
