hey so sausec should i go with the body lift first or finish doing the suspension ..keep in mind i have to buy new shocks for the front only.

Nice! who's doing the kit for you? I have a body lift on my F-150 and what I did is took it to an exhaust shop. they actually just shortened all the exhaust hangers for me to pull the exhaust up closer to the frame so it doesnt look goofy. That with some gap guards and nobody knows you have a BL! Well, besides the 3" of additional frame hanging down

I'm having outlaw off-road install it, they are really straight forward, I almost had suspension specialists do the install but I had already made an appointment with outlaw. Yea the exhaust I just planned to take to my exhaust guy he might even reposition them for like 25$ since I've take 4 cars to him. That is if I decide to pull the trigger on the 3" body lift. I want king to release their suspension kit already so I can get that. Supposedly should have been out. So said a king representative

honestly i was wondering is it possible to use say the front shocks that fit the 2006 to 2008 2wd models on the 13's i was looking at the es9000 or the pro comp mx6 shocks good for up to 6 in lift

The only thing is my truck is a QC I feel like to have a huge lift like with a QC looks funny. Mines the awkward size. Not a regular cab but not a crew I wish I would have got a crew cab. They have had my truck for 6 hours

I don't necessarily need the crew cab but now that I don't have one I want one. Always want what you don't have I guess.
Ya I got picked up I just got a status update. Waiting to be aligned and then I pick her up. I'll post pics right when I get it

That's totally up to you. They don't effect each other so it really doesn't matter.

 

[blkcountry426]

true you think the body lift will stand out more

 

[sausec17]

I would just do whatever complete lift have first.
If you have everything for the body lift, go ahead and get it done.
If you have everything for the suspension lift, go ahead and get it done.

Body lift youll have to raise the exhaust and install gap guards for the front

 

[blkcountry426]

good point thanks for the input ..

Truck still looks good man. So total you are running Maxtrac 4.5" spindles, a 2.5" leveling kit, and then our 3" rear kit + 1.5" rear spacer? Am I right on the heights to say you have a 7" front/4.5" rear ?

This is the before and after. In the before picture (top) I was running a 2.5" daystar leveling kit. In the after (bottom) I am running your 4.5" spindles and in the rear just the 3" coil springs.
So 7" in front and 3" in back. Only leaving me with 1" of rake
