New here with couple questions

Got this truck couple days ago as a gift, and want to know if it's lifted? It's a 2006 xlt 4.6 with 305/70-17 nitto terra grapplers with moto metal rims. Oh yeah I went hunting other day and tried out the 4x4 and it doesn't work..... In the shop as we speak. Here couple pics

At Stealership



How it's sitting now

I don't think its lifted. Your tires are about a 34x12 in standard measurements and it doesn't look completely level. Good looking truck though!

4wd are higher than 2wd stock. I wanna say 1.5" higher but I might be off. I know a 7.5"lift on a 2wd is comparable to a 6" on a 4wd.

Oh because she said the sales man told her it has a 4inch lift. I didn't see any name brand parts so I was wondering. I'll take some pics of suspension when it gets out the shop. I'm gonna go ahead an order 6inch lift for it. I'm thinking about getting zone

looks like it uses spacers up front ontop the struts. Can you get me a measurement from the ground to bottom of your side mirror?

Thanks. My aunt bought it for me for Christmas. My dad died couple months ago and she had a life insurence policy on him. When he died he left noting for us and left it all to his girlfriend. Well other day I was just telling my aunt how I would love a 4x4 f150 to take in the woods hunting instead of my maxima, and she said "come ride with me to dealership". When we got there the sales man threw me the keys an said "it's yours". Not to sound like a puss or anything, but it almost made me cry. I'm 26 and had to bust my ***** working for everything I own in life; never had anything given to me like this. I have the title showing where she paid little over $18,000 for it. Truck has around 50,000 miles. I'm truly gracious for this wonderful truck!

Looks like it has a level kit on it.. 2-2.5 inches maybe... Take a look at the shock tower and the angles of the the ball joint on the upper A arm... Take a look at the front crossmember as well... 18,000 was a good deal for 50,000 miles or less...

It was nice of your aunt to buy a vehicle for you... Thats awesome...

Hey man I'm really sorry to hear that. And as said above 18 for a 50k mile truck is an amazing deal! I hope it treats you good man. Something about that first picture I think is at a weird angle. It looks like it has some rake still. But after hearing all the other opinions I looked harder at the last picture and does look pretty level. You'll be happy with a ford!

Yeah it was parked where they wash the cars at. Has a slope hoe water to drain. In person trucks level. There is a black spacer ontop strut an block out back. What's the going rate for 6inch lift install?

Low miles and 4x4 really adds to the value of the truck.
