Default 2wd lifting

I have a 99 2wd f150 it has a 3" rough country suspension lift. I was wondering if anyone has stacked a leveling kit on there suspension lift (has to be a 2wd)? If you have post pictures and let me know if your having any major problems.

Yes i did it and no problems at all. I also have a freind who has the exact same setup on a chevy. I have 3" blocks and 1.5" lift shackles in the rear and 3" spindles and 2" coil spacers up front

Did the leveling spacer still give you the full specified lift? How long have you been running that combination? What size tires are you running? Can I get more pictures of your f150?

Like 3 months. The coil spring spacer actually gave more lift than it advertised. I have 285/75r16 mud terrains (33") i could fit 35s no problem i just dont feel like regearing. All the other pics i have are with 2" rear blocks with the 1.5" lift shackles as opposed to the 3" i just put in last week (it was rear end saggy with the 2" blocks.) alot of people say it had a good stance but i prefer it exactly level. So all these pics are older with the 2" rear blocks... Need any more info just let me know.

P.S. i am not running the rough country spindles or shocks. I peiced together this lift from different manufactures.

The last one was how it looked before with just the 2" coil spacers and 33s

I'm looking at getting 3" spacers even though a lot of people advise not too. Then I would do a 2" AAL and 2" shackle because my back end is saggin' a little.

I wouldnt advise the 3" spacers. It will totally destroy your ride quality and you will tear up front end parts very very often. If you want 3" of lift get a body lift. Itll be alot cheaper saving the front end parts in the long run.

The problem with a body lift is I don't want to strip anything out doing the lift.
