Yup found that out real quick LOL

 

I just go the AS leveling kit for Christmas. To install this kit you need some tools that I don't think the average backyard mechanic (like me)would have. (30mm deep impact socket, torque wrench, and a tool to split the ball joints. The directions say you can split the ball joints with a hammer but my understanding is you really need to have a tool to do it) Anyway I'm going to wait for my father in law (who is a mechanic) to visit and bring his tools with him so we can do this together. I do as much of the work to my vehicles as I can but I just don't see this going well if I try to do it without help. Then when my stock tires wear out I'll but on 33's like squirrellyy.

I much perfer the look of the lifted truck to the "street truck" look you mentioned Trition. On the other hand, where I live a street truck wouldn't really fit in. Down in Florida might be a different story.

Hey triton, if you want to do a body lift then I say go for it. I installed a 3" body lift on my truck and I haven't had any problems at all. I would recommend getting having a buddy to help you to make it easier, I had a friend help me tighten the body mounts but other than that I did everything myself and it was a pain. I ended up installing 2" wheel spacers to help the center of gravity and I hardly feel any body roll.

 

i bought my three inch level kit online from hellbent steel on ebay they have 2 2.5 and 3 inch kits as far as the body lift im a ford mechanic and i installed a body lift on my truck alot harder to do than the older body f150 looked really good when i was done just was a little harder than the other 6 body lifts ive installed the kit cost me 70 dollars with free shipping
