Default Lift?

Whats a good 2.5' or 3' lift for my 05 f150. I dont want to spend the money on a 6' yet but i want something thatll show its a little lifted and create little more clearance. What do yall suggest? heard anything over 2.5' lift will wear your front end out?

Yes, more than 2.5 inches in a leveling kit will wear out the ball joints. If you go off road i recomend the Rancho quick lift loaded leveling struts with matching rs9000 shocks for the rear.

?? Your signature shows you're already leveled. Are you looking for an additional 2.5-3"? If so, it's full suspension or body lift.

Then you can go 4" suspension-$1800ish
6" suspension-$2Kish
3" body lift-$1200ish because you will need running boards, gap guards, tow hook relocation and possible hitch relocation for it to look good.
And all of those prices are probably on the lower side. And they include parts and installation. You can maybe install the suspension yourself so knock off around $500
