Level Out Or Lift Your 1997-2003 F150 For An Aggressive New Look

Whether you just bought a 1997-2003 F150 or if you've been squeezing out every last mile from one of these impressive trucks for work or play, one of the best things you can do to improve the looks and off-road performance is to throw on a set of rugged all-terrain tires and larger custom wheels. The only way you can accomplish this to get perfect fitment without any rubbing, however, is with a leveling or lift kit. Here at Stage 3 Motorsports, we're happy to now carry an awesome line-up of some of the most dependable and inexpensive options for you to achieve this new look. These trucks come stock from the factory with a bit of a front end rake that shoves the rear-end of your truck into the air like a beetle and any of our new offerings will either balance out that or look or add a few more inches if you want a more commanding view of the road and extra clearance to help get the job done.

One of our favorite leveling kits comes from our friends over at Rough Country, who offer up a shockingly inexpensive package that raises up the front end and rear of your truck so that it gains a taller and leveled look. With Rough Country's 2.5" Leveling Lift Kit, you'll not only gain a more balanced look but you'll also be able to easily add on a new set of custom wheels and 33" off-road tires. Whether you beat up on your 1997-2003 F150 while blazing new trails for fun or if it's your daily work horse, this set-up will make life a whole lot easier when it comes to navigating through rough terrain. The leveling is accomplished with Rough Country's high-quality Torsion Bar Keys, a Rear Block and U-Bolts and is one of the best bargains you'll find on the market for a 2-1/2" leveling kit.

If you want to take things up a notch for more height to achieve an awesome new look, a 4" Lift Kit from Rough Country is one of your best bets. Not only will you lift up your tough truck for a much more substantial look while leveling out the front and rear but you'll also be able to go even bigger by adding a set of 35" off-road tires. Much more than just a leveling kit with blocks, this is more of a performance suspension/lift kit, as it includes improved shocks that will help you maneuver even some of the toughest terrain you can find with ease. Yes, it comes with a higher price tag, but the difference in performance is obvious. If you really need off-road performance to match the great looks, this is a great way to go.

With Rough Country's 4" Lift Kit, you'll get front and rear performance shocks that are capable of properly handling the new height as well as new Crossmembers, Rear Blocks, Control Arms and a whole lot of other great hardware to accomplish this new look and 4" lift.

If average is not what you're shooting for with your 1997-2003 F150 build and you want this monster to not only have some aggressive looks but a massive lift to match, a 6" Lift Kit from Zone is an incredible value and option to get this accomplished.

Our friends over at Zone have managed to put together one of the most balanced 6" Lift Kits for the 1997-2003 F150s on the market today. This kit comes loaded with high-quality and extremely tough components that can handle just about any off-road situations you plan on getting your F150 into, all while giving you the clearance you need to equip your truck with up to 35" tires that can easily help you get out of any trouble you might get your truck into. Zone's kit comes with a complete set of taller front and rear shocks, Crossmembers, Lifted Knuckles, Differential Drop Brackets, larger rear blocks, and all the other hardware and instructions needed for installation.
