I Wanna Go BIG!!!!

OK yall I am lookin to get a suspension lift and I want my truck WAY up in the air. I dont know wut type of lift I should get. I know that Whiplash and Full throttle make huge kits but Ive only heard bad feedback about their product. Im not lookin to do anything too extreme no SAS! I do not want a 16" or bigger kit maybe a 10" so what company is out there that makes a product for my truck.

97 Ford F-150
Extended Cab 4x4
5.4

I am with keith on that one. Only thing is, with you being a 4x4 i believe you could get 38's under there with the right wheel.

your gonna run into major issues with your front driveshaft angles. either your going to need a custom shaft (best idea usually) or clock everything.

yea this sounds like a plan but Im deffentelty going to try to fit 38s under it I already have a body lift.
But is there any company that makes bigger than a 6" for a 97-03?

Not good ones. You can fit 38s with the right wheel and some trimming.

agreed... all the other lifts out there arent really worth even looking at. you should fit 38's with that setup.
