2wd w/ 6" lift and oem wheels with 35s

Does anyone make a 6" lift for 04-08 2wd F150 that is compatible with OEM Wheels?

I want a 6" lift but I would prefer to run oem wheels with 35" tires or at least wheels with backspacing close to oem wheels. I don't want my tires sticking that far out. And I don't want to run fender flares at all.

If anyone has any pictures of a 2wd with 6 inches of lift and 35" tires on oem wheels that would be awesome.

you are not able to run oem wheels on most 6" lifts.

skyjacker is THE ONLY 2wd kit that allows use of oem wheels, but the fact that they require you to use a 10ton press to install part of the spindle kinda has me looking another way

I was actually leaning towards the skyjacker lift, so that works out!

yeah, I remember some member here that had a lift with stock rims. Cant remember the username though. All I can remember is that it was a red truck and he took several pictures by a field or something... sorry, not much help, but just saying that I've seen it too.

I like oem wheels, particularly the 18" fx4 wheels. Even if I were to get aftermarket wheels I would want very similar backspacing, because I would want to keep my wheels tucked under the fenders as much as possible. Without aftermarket fender flares.

thanks for the picture. I knew it could be done. Now I am just trying to come up with the funds to make it all happen.

you could always get wheel spacers to mimic a lower backspacing/offset.

Yeah, I recall for sure that the Skyjacker allows stock rims. Others maybe possibly, might just need some wheel spacers on the front to accomadate for the difference in other kits.

I like the look your going for, I like a high stock looking rig. Lifted up but on stock rims with nice size tire. Id say 6 Skyjacker, 18 FX4 with some 325/60 or 65 tires. Look hella nice!

Skyjacker kit for 2x4 04-08 doesnt allow for use of stock rims. Must have 4.5bs bc of sterring knuckle location. Sorry just put one one last week.
