Default Couple questions

First, I want to put a small lift on my truck, prob 2inches or less, just to give it a little boost. Does anyone have experience with a kit that they love, or a brand that is super reputable? Also, is there a site that has “performance” aftermarket parts for the f150? I guess I just figure that, if I’m goi f around replacing parts, I should try to buy the best to replace it with. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks all!

Is your truck 2WD or 4WD, are you looking to do an all around 2" lift or just the F/E? I have a 05 F150 2WD that sat with the nose low that I did not like the look of it. I just installed a F/E leveling strut assemblies. with 2" pucks already attached to the struts. It raised the F/E 2" higher, now the F/E is only 1" lower then the rear & looks to be almost level. I used the KYB Truck-Plus Leveling Strut Assembly from Rockauto.com. Check AmericanTrucks.com for lifts.
More Information for KYB SR4078K (rockauto.com)
Before,

How it sits now,

A good level is what your wallet can handle. A spacer is the least cost, up to a few $K's for coilovers.
Take a look at our "Vender" forum to find places to buy, and don't be afraid to contact a vender for possibly a better price. https://www.f150forum.com/f37/
Now, what kind of truck do you have? Trim level? Year? 4X4/4X2?
If you want to use spacers, I usually recommend MotoFab. A good medium cost set of adjustable coilovers would be Fox.

Whoops. You’re right, sorry guys. New here. 1991 f150 lariat. 2WD, single cab, long bed.
I’m pretty sure I just was a simple 2inch lift all around. It looks pretty level to me at the moment.

Being that generation, you might try putting your thread in this forum, https://www.f150forum.com/f10/ I've forgotten most everything I know about a '91, I did have one I bought I new, really liked that truck.
