Leveled the front a bit with the T-bars, but I didnt take measurements, so idk where my front end should be height wise lol.

Probably, they are all around 50 bucks.

You'll end up paying more for those cheap lift kits then it would cost to do it right in the first place... with a suspension lift of course.

A suspension lift is the ONLY correct way to lift a truck IMO. If I had to do it all over again, I would have Crank the bars/block lifted it. Never liked body lifts. The poor mans lift looked that way IMO.

That 5" lift looks great..Professional and smart! You still have the nice ride and the front end parts will last.

Nothing wrong with a body lift on these trucks. Non ford owners have no clue my truck has one until I tell them

Yea, that's what people say, thing is, I can tell. If it doesn't bother you, then not a big deal. Personally I never liked anything about them. Looks, what it does to the engine compartment and eventually they can punch threw the cab, if your ruff on the truck. I know, you baby yours right

Yea, just measure the gap. Looks good the way it sits tho.
