Default leveling kit
I have a 04 f150 lariat and thinking to get a leveling/ lift kit to make it look meaner, nothing too crazy just either 2.5 or 3 inches. I needed help on choosing which one should I do and what brand? Thanks.

Is your truck 4WD ? 2.5 max for 4WD due to cv axle angle.

I have a 2wd. I'm just looking for a leveling kit / lift that makes it more meaner but nothing to crazy as I use it as a daily commuter.

do you know the adjustable/lift amount? Seems like about 1.5" would be the sweet spot on a RWD.
