Leveling kit + lift kit???
I got an '04 and put a 2.5" leveling kit on it and it sits so much better. The '04 sat like a 2wd when I first got it. I think it helped wear my ball joints out quicker but i guess that's the price you pay.
Was thinking about putting either a 4" Rough Country lift on her or 3" blocks to get her up a little bit. Any suggestions?? I'm a little worried about putting another block on top of the leveling block in the front. Can it be done? Can it be done with a 4" suspension lift? I can't find answers anywhere, figured this would be the place to come and ask.
It's a 2004 F150 5.4L 4x4 Reg Cab Lng bed

^^I've heard of people doing blocks on top of blocks, but wouldn't recommend it. It would wear ur joints down faster, and from reading ur post that sounds like that is not what u want. U can put a leveling kit on a suspension lift, but most of them have one. I'd call or email Rough Country and ask them if ur truck will sit level with their suspension kit

What is a good legit 4" kit? I found one but read closer and saw that it lifted the truck 2" in the back and 4" in the front. I want one that lifts the rear 4" and the front either 4" (to go with the existing leveling kit) or 6" to replace the leveling block. Any suggestions!!??

Actually, measuring from the center of the wheel to the fender will give you much more accurate results. Measuring from the ground doesn't factor in tread wear, tire pressure, etc.

My 05 STX 4x4 was over 3 inches higher in the rear from the factory, I added a 2.5 inch leveling kit to the front and it's pretty even now, I think the original poster should go with a 2 inch, I'll post before and after pics
