Default Lift kit advice please..

I currently have a 06 f150 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit and a 3 inch body lift... I would like to raise it a few more inches an was wondering what kinda suspension lifts I can add to it considering it's a 2 wheel drive I no I'm limited,,, or any other things I can do to add a few more inches... thank you for your help and time

Do you have a budget in mind? How are you going to be using your truck?

You can get a set of adjustable coilovers and add the spacer on top ( I would pair it with a uniball UCA because your ball joints will be maxed out ) or I believe Fabtech has a 6" lift kit for the 2WD.

If you are interested in King shocks and Upper Arms, let me know!

Would I have to get rid of the levling kit an 6 inches would be to high in my opinion with a 3 inch body an a 2.5 leveling kit for a half ton

I would get a pair of Bilstein 5100's for the front.

Set it to the middle setting and put your spacer on top of that.

That'll give you another 1" or so.

But like I mentioned, becareful of your ball joints being maxed out.

If you have the knowledge and tools, you can definitely do it yourself.
