I'm wondering if I need a 2 1/2 leveling kit in the front to match my rear? And also I was wondering if a 3 inch body lift would look good? I'm not a off road Guy just looking to make my truck look good I have a 2008 f 150 super crew with 265/70/17 little bigger than stock any ideas?

It's all about preference and how tall you want your truck. A 3 in isn't too drastic and will look decent, but it's your truck lol. And measure for the leveling kit, a 2 in will probably do, but measure the distance from the tire to the wheel well in both to see what will make them even.

OK thanks I will give that a try. I was just wondering if with my tire size would it look dumb having two lifts stacked the 3 inch body pluses the front leveling kit that's all and the tires again are 265/70/17 a little taller and wider than my stock 255 but u can't really tell

To be honest I couldn't tell you lol. I don't think it would, but you're the one driving it and seeing it all the time. As long as you like the way it looks, forget everybody else.

Definitely get it realigned. The spacer changes some of the suspension geometry so in order to save your tires from being toed in all the time have her realigned. It'll be $75-$100 well spent in the long run.
