I recently installed a 2 1/2 inch strut extension leveling kit for my 2005 F150. I’ve decided that I want to get an actual lift though. What is the simplest and cheapest way to do this? I’m looking for about 3 more inches.

Thanks in advance.

Lose the leveling kit and install either a 4 or 6 inch suspension lift.

X3... Lift it.

Well I know I’m obviously going to need to lift it. I was just asking because I have seen\heard of multiple ways to do it. I just bought my truck a year ago and am still learning l of this stuff. I’ve heard people talk body lifts, suspension lifts, blocks, Etc.. I’m just not sure what the easiest approach is? Just to buy a full lift kit somewhere? How do the lifting blocks work? I have only seen them sold for a rear lift, how do you lift the front at that point?

Like they said, with a lift kit. Not a leveling kit. See below.

You're going to screw up your angles if you keep extending the strut in any way

Lifted struts aren't a thing, leveling struts are. You're gonna have a bad day if you keep wanting to stack pucks up.......Buy a lift kit.

What do you guys suggest for a decent kit? I don’t do a ton of actual off-roading. I just like the look of a lift.
