Default Lifting 2wd

I have an 03 2wd f150. It has a 2.5 inch level with 33's. I would like to lift the truck more. Rough country has two 3inch suspension lifts for a 2wd. They have 3 inch spindles and a 3 inch suspension lift kit. Which one should I get to keep my level with it?

Thanks a lot

Seeing your other two threads, I would recommend just getting the spindles. They are easier to install.

They are the same kits, one just comes with shocks.

I am looking to lift my '99 F150 2wd from stock. Looking into a 3.5" lift. Fabtech or Rough Country are the options I found. Rough Country is noticeably cheaper. Any opinions on either in your experience? Thanks in advance!

Are Spindles only for the back?

Ok spindles only go up front. They are what your tire is mounted to. They generate lift.
