Default What does this lift do for me?

I've got an 06 F150 Fx4 Scab with a 2.5" Daystar Leveling Kit.....

I'm looking at some of my lifting options, and noticed the PA 3" body lift that I can get off amazon and ebay, but I also noticed this lift kit for $170 and it said you can fit up to 37" tires. Can someone please explain to me what kind of lift this is, and does it actually lift the truck and keep it level?

A body lift is a lift that lifts the trucks body up 3 inchs from the fram it doesn't lift any other part of the truck the only thing that will be lifted is the front and back bumpers the truck cab and the bed I hope this answer you question

That is just a level kit with new rear blocks. There is absolutely no way you would be able to fit 37" tires with that kit. I dont even know how they get 3.5" in front. That is soooo much for a level. Just adding that would be suicidal to the rest of your front end. The rear blocks would just be added to your rear blocks now and thats not a great idea to do either.
I am in no way trying to be mean towards you. Its just when I clicked on the link I got mad because a company is trying sell this kind of stuff with that kind of advertisement. It is VERY misleading.

If you are looking at the PA 3" body lift then that is a viable way to lift your truck. It is a very good name brand and many people use it. Suspension lifts will be the usual recommendation for lifting your truck around here though. It is all up to you and what you want.

I will demand one thing from you though and do NOT buy that stuff you found a link for. haha. Sounds extremely shady and only asking for problems.

You already have the 2.5" level which is really good so your only options for getting more height are suspension lift or body lift. The bigger tires that you can add after those two will also give you more height.
