looking for some ideas!

I just recently bought a White 1977 F-100 4x4 with a 3" suspension lift, 4-11 gears in front and rear, 33" Mastercraft M/T's , black bull bar with KC 4" fog lights... I really am wanting to make this truck look great! I thought about a 3" body lift to add on and run 37" M/T's but i would like to hear more ideas. Im open for anything!

Body lifts are not a good idea in my opinion. The truck I bought 3 days ago has a 3" body lift on it that I'm taking off. I'll sell you mine for cheap if you want it

The reason i dont really like them is the fact that they show too much frame and the bumpers do not get lifted with them... i may be intrested. Do you have pictures of the truck with the lift on?

You shouldn't need anymore lift to fit 37's but I would just bump it up to a 6-inch lift if you want more. Sounds like a sweet truck. Got any pictures?
