I have some 2" rough country leveling coils not shure how high that would make your ex. Some fullsize spacers would give you 1.5 in the front and some shackles would give you 2" in rear. What are you trying to accomplish. If you are just concerned with the weight of the boat some helper springs may be in order or an add a leaf.

I just would like about a 4'' lift all together so i guess with then 2'' spring spacer and 2'' shackles the do a 2'' inch body lift would probly do the trick i guess. Just want alittle taller truck and be able to have some more tire.

You'll need drop brackets for anything higher than 2" in the front (for alignment), unless you find some bent/custom beams.

Yes that is the look i am going for right there only i only want to run 32's do you think with the 4'' lift total i could fit those.

Yes

If you plan on running 32's and pulling a boat you'd better re-gear as well. If not then you'll probably roast the transmission the 1st or second time towing. You should go to 4.10's. And since your towing I would want to put on a very stable good handling lift. Not spacers and a body lift, or anything like that. I'd look at James Duff stuff. They have a 3" lift with extended radius arms that would work perfectly for you.

I pulled my car trailer with a 75 Eldorado in tow to the "figure eight" for years with 3" b/l and a 4" suspension lift. Mind you I used helper springs when towing. If you arnt going to flex it or be jumping it I cant see why you would need extended arms. Yes they are super nice and worth more suspension travel than a coil can provide. But thats alot of mony compared to 1.5" spacers 15.00 each from ford rear aal aprox 100.00. 2" bl aprox 100.00. (Opinion) But most certanty re gear. That was the best investment I made in a long time. With 33's I'd go with 4.56 find a gear calculator your rpm's will most likely be the same at highway speeds. I'm probably going with 5.13's and either 35 or 36" tires and drive it on the street. Good luck
