Newbie here with a quick question

While I have searched and cant find my answer please help. Im looking into lifting my 2wd f150 xlt. I dont drive the car everyday so I want a show stopper. My questions is, What is the highest lift on the market? If I were to put a daystar leveling kit (2"), and pa 3" body lift, and pro comp 6" lift will all these add up too an 11" lift????? Im sure you get my question any help would be appreciated....

And off course whats the biggest tire on that bad boy that I can fit. Thanks guys

If you want that much lift then you should look into a Kelderman air ride kit. Mixing all those other kits together is sure to create an unstable and unsafe truck. As for tires, I believe a 35 or 38 inch is about as big as you can go. Don't forget to upgrade the brakes, all that extra rolling mass will be too much for the stockers.

Nothing Wrong with adding the body lift on top of the suspension.

I did it before, and will do it again.

I've seen 40" MTRs on a white F-150 before..I can't remember what kind of set-up it was but it was a mix of a bunch of things.

Im going with a 4" Rancho plus spacers and add-a-leaf with some 37 Mud Grapplers or Toyo M/Ts!

3"

The only grudge I have is the people who only do body lifts with no suspension lift. Thats dumb especially on a $30,000+ truck. Now if you go with a 6" lift and than a 3" body it'd be cool.

That white F-150 was a Fabtech 6" with a leveling kit, add-a-lead AND a body lift.
