Default Lifting the front more?

Hey guys I have a 07 F150 Regular Cab I already put a 3" leveling kit on it and it sits level but I want that extra inch or two of extra height in the front without having to do a full suspension lift. I just put 33' Nitto Dune Grapplers on it so it sits a little higher than it used to. But is there any way possible to lift it 1-2 more inches in the front?

No there isnt, you cant have just 5-6 inchs without modifications. It puts to much strain on the front end components and with probably drive like crap as well. I recommend taking out the 3" level kit and adding a 4" lift kit. Then with the 4" lift you can add a 1 or 1.5" level if you want more. Heres a link to the best in the business with a pic

that would look kinda weird imo no to mention you can kiss you cv's (if its 4x4) and multiple other front end components goodbye

I'd have to agree, unless you put a body lift on with the leveling kit, i'd just got full suspension lift..

Just go with a 3" body lift kit from performance accessories. I installed it mine myself. It wasnt too bad. I also have a 2.5 " leveling kit.

I am pretty sure that you would be happier if you just went with a suspension lift like Screw04 suggested and be done with it........ Good luck......

A lot of people hate body lifts (myself included) suspension is always the way to go, and you'd be much happier, but if money is tight, a body lift would be the way to go
