Default 3.5" Leveling Kit ?

Has anyone installed or found pics of a 3.5" Level kit on the front and /or 1.5" rear?

Amazon.com: Supreme Suspensions - Ford F150 Full 3.5" Front + 1.5" Rear Suspension Leveling Lift Kit 4WD 4x4 (Black) PRO: Automotive Amazon.com: Supreme Suspensions - Ford F150 Full 3.5" Front + 1.5" Rear Suspension Leveling Lift Kit 4WD 4x4 (Black) PRO: Automotive

I am liking the idea of those numbers as the trucks overall height increases by an > 1" for ground clearance but I am a little worried the control arms or geometry may be too far off.

I wouldn't go over 2.5" with a 4x4. I did about 3.5" on 4x2, and I can tell you it really limits your down travel. On a 4x4, your CV's wouldn't last long.

3.5" will put waaaay too much angle on the CV's. i feel 2.5" is the highest to go and still be safe as long as u wont be offroading much.

Appreciate the feedback. I didn't think the 3.5" was a good idea lol , but you all confirmed it right quick lol.

Is a 2.5" going to throw geometry off too badly ? More so then a 2"?

I don't want any rake in the truck, so should I leave the rear on the stock blocks?

So much no for 3.5in level. Bad idea. 2.5 would be the most you'd wanna go and you'd be pretty much even front to back with that. I did a 2in and have a very slight rake. If you do some searching there are tons of leveled 15's all the way from 1.5in to boss coilovers at 3in.

this is basically the same thing im doing to my truck.
