My 2001 f150. Help!
Ok i have a 2001 f150 5.4L V8 Triton. Its been awhile since i have really started looking at getting a lift kit. Only problem is, i dont know what will be the better buy for my buck. Honestly if i have the money, ill spend it as long as i get the look i want and it wont tear up my truck.
Here is my truck Now:
Good-looking truck but i just dont like the tire size at all. Little too small even though i have fat tires and that look, i like.
By no means do i hate the way my truck looks. Its nice but i really like the lifted look better and personally, i think every truck looks its best lifted. So i scroll google for ideas to see how mine looks lifted and i love it. NOW, i need details and what not cause' im total ehh, noob? at this stuff.
So i find this bute:
Twins right!? Almost.
I love this look but im not EXACTLY sure what this person has on his truck as far as what kind of lift.
I was looking at suspension lifts since i heard better things about em and so i guess i would like to see some pictures of yalls f150's with possibly just a 4-7.5" suspension lift and tell me what you payed and how it worked out and also, the tire size you got.
I just want to make sure if i get a lift, that im getting what i want since its not like a one-day deal.
So if you guys can help me, id appreciate it.
This is my first post here and i think ill be here more often.
Id also like to post some before and after pics when i got a lift!
LETS SHOW CHEVY UP!
Thanks alot,

Nice truck!
First of all, the lifted truck in the pic appears to be a 4x4 with a 6 inch suspension lift and 35 inch tires. Keep in mind, your 4x2 sits 3 inches lower than a stock 4x4, so you would need 9 inches of lift to look identical to the red 4x4.
I'd suggest the 7.5 inch Fabtech lift and some 35x12.50's on a 8 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing.

I also vote for the 7.5" fabtech. That will give you the closest look to the truck you put up the pic of. Also your wheels look to be 20's? If so I'd run some 35's on them, it will give you a nice clean look.
