Pics 3inch ready lift

Anyone have pics of a 3inch ready lift on a 2wheel drive with 33s or 35s. What are the pros and cons?


Thanks Jerry

3" is going to be too high. you'll eat through ball joints way too quickly. I wouldn't recommend going and higher than 2", especially on a 2WD.

2.5" is the recommended height for a 2wd and 2" for 4wd.

Actually, each truck is different and the only way to know which kit will fit a particular truck the best is to measure it. General rule of thumb for the 4WD trucks is that the 04-05 models sit level with a 2.5" kit and the 06-08 models sit level with a 2" kit.

Once again, this is a rule of thumb. Measuring will be the only way to know for sure.

FRONT:
3" front leveling kit is Ok for 04-08 2wd F150's but not ok for 09+ because the steep angles on the UCA and will wear the ball joints faster than norm. But you have an 07 so you should be ok.

REAR:
I called Ready Lift today asking why their 3" blocks for 09-10 2wd F150's say 4wd and not 2wd. The Rep told me that the 3" blocks wont work with my 2wd but not sure if that would be the case with the 04-08 2wd's.. I really don't know why they wont fit but he said they wont fit..
