Looks good. I had the same spacers, take it off-roading... your swing arms will pound the bump stops. What i did, and i still have them in... 1" X 3" X .125" square tubing, capped, Over-sized holes filled in with pipe, 1" longer 3/8" bolts with steel lock-nuts, and spaced the sway bar. night and day. try it if you have access to the materials, basically your taking tension off it, and it's now that much closer to stock, still stiff, but not brick hard. Steering returns much nicer as-well.

I got a 2006 f150 xl and i think i have 265/?-17 tires on right now. if i get a 3' suspension left how much bigger tires could i put on using the stock rims? Or this may have been answered already but how big could i go if i just leveled it? (im new on here btw)

Default Spacers

The only complaint on the spacers. upper ball joints hate them. spacers are cheap, and they work...but you have to pay the difference some how. my ubj boots cracked from the tension slammin outwards. a little heads up.

Default amount of lift

I am thinking of leveling my truck out, I measured the difference and it was 2". I want to go with hell bent steel as their spacers look like the best. Only problem is they don't have a 2" in steel.
My question is would the 2.5" lift the front too much? and how hard is this on the suspension/ truck?

Autospring should have a 2" available. If the difference is only 2", the 2.5 is going to put you nose high.
