Default lifting/ leveling my truck

Ok, so i have a 90 f150 2wd longbed. I want to do something to it to lift it but im not for sure what i should do but i have several ideas. 1) put a 3 inch body lift on, 2) just lift the front end up with a leveling kit, 3)put the same leveling kit above and put an add a leaf kit in the back. Im not for sure about the body liftkit because it looks like it might be a little complicated to install. Tell me what yall think and if you have any better ideas.

I've been wondering the same thing... I've got a '91 2wd long bed.

2wds need a 2.5 inch level to sit even I believe. Body lifts are cheap, but I've heard of something like needing extensions for some things like the auto trans shifter linkage

ya i think you have to cut it and then weld a piece in to lengthen it . theproblem is that i cant weld and my grandpa did it for a living for 40 years but his hand shakes to bad now to do it so idk. but then again im not 100% sure you have to do that.

I was debating the same thing but I am just going to lift the front w/ a rough country leveling kit. Springs arent too bad of an install.
