"How much did it cost to get? Ive been looking at doing one"
JC Whitney has them the cheapest about $200. Just be sure to keep all the old hardware

I got mine on eBay for like 180 shipped... No don't be scared off by eBay it was a new sealed PA body lift only cheaper... Also I started on a Friday afternoon and finished Sunday afternoon so definitely plan for a whole weekend and start as early as possible and if it doesn't take that long then you can relax and brag about how you could do it shorter than everyone else... LOL personaly I really dont like the F150's with small tires at all period lifted or not but like said above it personal preferance... I had 33's on before I got the body lift so I never had that problem...


Also just FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS...

I did the same over a year ago and still have stock radials on my truck. It took me and a buddy about 2 work days, with breaks and relaxation in between to get it done. With the body lift you should be able to fit atleast 33's.

JC whitney has the cheapest prices of any retailers when I was looking. Also google it for a discount/promo code. They will do free shipping or a certain percentage off depending on how much you spend.

Or find a local shop willing to price match, and tell them it's only this much at JC whitney, and you can also get a certain % off with the promo code. They MIGHT match it. Maybe.

I paid 200 for mine on my 99 ext. cab, and it took me and a buddy about 10 hours total.
