I've got an 04 f150 4x4 with 35's and a leveling kit and have absolutely no rubbing. My question is if I put a 3 inch body lift on it would I be able to fit 37's?

Body lift will not help with the upper control arm rub...you may need new off set wheels and or spacers...don't know what wheel your running right now.

The new wheels are Mickey thompson bullet style 18x10 and I'm running 20x8 now the offset is almost stock now

Dude throw out the body lift idea just go suspension body lifts are ugly there just wanna be suspension lifts and cause problems ... And the installation is usually more expensive then a suspension install just save up alil more and save ur trucks rep.

Do u know where I can get a cheap suspension lift?

Here we go another body lift vs suspension lift thread... A body lift is not a wanna be suspension lift there two totally different types of lifts. It all depends on what the owner is using the truck for. Each one has its own benefits. So lets please not start another one of these threads.

Do u think I could get by with a 3" since I have 35's and they don't rub?

I can't think of one advantage seriously. The vehicles stock parts wires , frame, ect. Were made to fit it's stock body height . Lifting the body from the frame pulls and tugs alot of things it's not supposed to it makes the truck more top heavy, the ride is ruffer and u have a big chance of body shifting I've also heard that body lift decreases the amount of weight u can haul... Please enlighten me with ur upsides

there would be no reason for the ride to be rougher..you're not even touching the suspension so i doubt that's true.

Road bumps send vibration threw the blocks causing vibration in the cab... Ratter then distributing them threw out the frame .... But I do have friends who have them and it's bearable I'd just rather go the legit way
