I have a 2003 ford 150 lariat 5.4 triton 4x4 extended cab and this is my first full size pickup that i've owned. Im looking to lift my truck (in order to place larger diameter tires) and wider tires on my vehicle. However I am a fulltime college student and my funds are limited. The most money that I am willing to spend on lifting my truck(maybe 2 inches, 3 inches at the most) is around 600$, however the cheaper the better. I want a safe vehicle however so I want the most cost effective method. As I stated previously I just want a small lift, nothing fancy just one big enough to place bigger tires. My question is what method is the best for raising my truck, some say leveling kit, others say just a body lift with gap guards. Im just curious and need opinions and advice. Also, im looking for the estimated cost not only for the lift, but the labor and the tires.Im looking to place tires anywhere from 31inches to 34 inches. Maybe 35s. And im looking to go a few inches wider. Any advice inputs or opinions are appreciated, thanks.
