Default Lift???

Hey guys new to this site, I bought an 05 white/black fleet f150...thinking of a 2.5" leveling kit. But I kinda want it a little higher, I was thinking a 3" BODY lift?? Its not recommended but I never see frames with a 3 inch lift and I dont have the 1700 for a 6" suspension lift...any thoughts?

A 4inch is still like 1500 I heard...and most shops I talked to will not do 3inch level, just a 2.5, because it puts to much tension or some shiz lol

Try the Rancho Quick Lift with a block in the back, it will give you 3" and if you can do it your self should only cost around $700

Save the money and get what you really want or you will regret going with an immediate quick fix. The problem with lifting is once you do it you always want to go a little higher.
