No way the stock upper control arms would clear with 4" to 5" of spacers

Now second of all the thread title and begining question was can it be done so no valued thread there is value to what I added I didn't say it was practicalled but it can be done that's all and this is a forum to help and inform others so for the people who actually want to do it go for if they buy a truck and want to jack it up or slam it on the ground that's their perogative so maybe your rant about why you don't like it is invaluable

You're right this forum is to inform people of the right way to do things and what to avoid.. Avoid going over 2.5" on a level. Anything more get a regular lift. Like what was already stated before..

Can it be done... Yes... Should it be done... No.

Next....

Thanks for posting the pic of the F-150 with the two leveling kits. But, I'd love to see a close up of the CV and ball joint angles. I'm surprised that the suspension can be bolted back together with over 3 inches of spacers!
BTW, remember back when Skyjacker came out with a 3 inch lift for the 2004's? It was just a longer coilover shock. They stopped manufacturing it after everyone figured out that 2004+ F-150 ball joints won't last with more than 2.5 inches of lift (without a dropped crossmember).

I'd also like to see a picture of the actual leveling kits, all that picture shows is a F150 that's been lifted, but there's no way to tell how.

Any updates on the closeup pics of the stacked leveling kits? I'd love to see the ball joint and CV joint angles.
