If the truck in the link you provided is the one you bought, that truck is a regular cab. All 04-08 F-150's have 4 doors, no matter what the cab style. The reg cabs had those little half doors for easier access behind the seats. For reference, my truck is a supercab and look how much bigger the rear door is.

If your budget is about 3K for lift and tires look into a pro-comp 6" or a fabtech 6" and run some 35's. BTW Ohio has a bumper height law and a 6" lift with 35's will put just this side of legal.

And where is Eaton Ohio? I'm up here just outside Cleveland.

They are suspension lifts. Check out 4 wheel parts, you could probably get a package deal on a pro-comp lift and pro-comp wheels and tires.

Don't know how they ride. Just checked 4 wheel parts site and you can get a 6" pro-comp w/17 x 9 pro-comp wheels and 35 x 12.50 x 17 pro comp tires for about 3100.
