I need some help for the future....
i wanted to ask some stuff before i forget everything i want to ask.....
ive got a 2000 F150 4x4 and i would love to put a 3" body lift on it, dual exhaust, a K&N air filer system, and a bull bar on it in the future.
the thing is, this is my first vehicle let alone truck, and i dont really know what companies are good (excpet K&N and Westin) adn i also dont know where to buy from, so if anyone could help me on where i could get each product cheap and from a good manufacturere, it would be GREAT.
ps: im sure i will have ALOT more questions later, but i just want to know this stuff now. Thanks.

Body Lifts suck... They take away any sense of comfort and are bumpy as hell. You will never seen a truck from the car lot come with a body lift on it.. They all do suspension lifts which maintain factory ride and most the time improve on handling. Just my 2 cents tho

Body lifts do not change the way a truck rides... They do creak, pop and squeak. The do look like crap. The do stress wiring and hoses an so forth that connect the body to the frame.

Alright let me re-phrase what i said. " Anyone ive know or talked to( besides here) have agreed with me that it stiffens the ride tremendously" maybe y'all do it differently" but think about what a body lift includes... and Body lifts are designed to lift a Ford F150 by placing 2" or 3" blocks between the body & frame. You're telling me by seperating the body from the frame is gonna maintain factory ride? Maybe im missing something...

i was thinking about Sky Jacker, but thats really the only "good" company i can think of.
who else is there to use?
