Will this lift idea work?

Curious to what you all think!

98 Ford F150 Extended Cab Flareside

Fabtech leveling kit for the front to level out
then add a 3 in body lift to fit 33X 12.50 Super Swampers

or

Fabtech 3.5 in suspension lift

Will a suspension lift level out the truck without a leveling kit?

Intersested to hear what you all think, open for ideas!

Thanks!

usually you can level it if you want. I had mine level after i put on my suspension lift but decided to put the back up 2 more inches becuase it looks better with some weight in the back.

I personally would never go with a body lift again. I did it on a Bronco II. I especially wouldnt do it on a truck. just my opinion..... You would be better off to just pay the extra and go with full suspension......good luck

yea it will level it. make sure when you order it you tell the guy its higher in the back than in the front. on my superduty it was 3 inches higher in the back. i just put a 4 inch lift kit on and it still sits 1 inch higher in the back but it looks like it sits higher in the front. it looks level.
