3" suspension lift
@Bruinsdanny ,your current setup and mine are very similar. Difference is that I have 1.5" levels only.
I've been driving on my level kit for about a year with nearly 10k miles on it. I have noticed some increased wear to the tie rod ends, but nothing much beyond that. I just put 265/75R16 Mud Claw Extremes on in December. So far I am pleased with the tires.
My biggest issue that I have to deal with on a regular basis is mud. I live, work and play in and around the river bottoms, fields, and woods of South Central Illinois. I still wish to use my truck on the daily as a work truck after doing a SAS, I just need more ground clearance than what can be easily obtained with the current "stock" IFS. "Custom" work shops in my area are only able to bolt on after-market parts and do little to no actual custom work. I have been able to locate a shop that is willing to take on the work, they ask that I source all the major parts. Which leads me to being here in the forums... searching for information and scratching my head....

Yes I did have to trim the inner wheel wells but that was easy. A little frame rub too but used a 1/4" spacer spacer. It only runs at full lock. Going another 3" on the body so I can install the 2 inch wheel spacers because I do like the bully dog look and I want fender flares too. Wider stance equals great stability. And since a Raptor isn't in the budget, I'll make my own.
