Will this work for me?
Hi. My name is Derrick and I'm new to this forum, as well as trucks. I am currently 18 years old and i got my first vehicle when I was 13. A 2003 mustang cobra. So, the whole truck thing is new to me. I wrapped my cobra up around a pine tree going 130 mph. After that, I bought a 2003 F150 SuperCrew 5.4L 2wd. All I have done to it so far is, bbk shorty headers, magnaflow high cats (2), true dual 2.5" pipes, cherry bomb extreme mufflers (3" in - 2.5" out), 3" tips. And Put a system in it. Im graduating in about two weeks, and part of my graduating gift is $5,000. So i have Decided Its time to lift the truck. I've been doing some research on putting a body lift and 35" wheels with 18" rims. As well as some research on horsepower and mpg gains. But my main problem is if my body lift and wheels I want will work. Here's what I want:
3" pa body lift
2" front coil spacer (leveling kit)
18" moto metal mo961 rims (satin black)
35" nitto mud grappler tires (35x12.5x18)

Selling the 2wd isn't an option as it is a daily driver, not a play toy. I already have my play toy, a '89 Yota with a 350 and 400 turbo trans lifted on 40s that my dad gave me a few years back. So this truck won't be for play, just a looker. So I should stick with the 33x12.5x18?
