Default Quick lift

http://www.amazon.com/registry/wishl...list_go_o_C-13

Will this be enough to lift my truck? It should lift the front almost 4.5" and lift the back 3 inches, is this all I need or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I dont have a big budget and I'm trying to fit 35's on my truck comfortably

you cant do a level lift and the ready lift shocks. you can do 35's with a 2.5 inch level in front. it will rub slightly when turning hard left/right but its not horrible. if you go higher than 2.5 in the front you will tear up your steering components.

I would think that it would be better if you just got a 4" lift for your truck instead of 2 leveling kits. Prob come out cheaper also.

There's no such thing as lifting for cheap. 4" is gonna be around $1400 and 6" is gonna be $1500-$2500 depending on the brand (those prices are just parts). Labor is around $600. and then with all suspension lifts&levsls, an alignment is mandatory. So $80. A 3" body lift can look good IF DONE RIGHT. And it's gonna be $350 parts upwards of $900 install. But with the body lift you have to have the tow hooks relocated, gap guards, and if you have a hitch, it needs to be cut and relocated or the body lift is gonna look like ****.
And yes, you can install the Body Lift yourself, but nobody recommends it, as its a 10+ hour job with 2 people and from what I understand, EXTREMELY difficult. You can install a suspension yourself too, if you're fairly mechanically inclined.
In retrospect, there's no way to lift an F150 "for cheap".
