Rough Country 6in Lift

My 2004 FX4 screw has the 3 inch body lift and a leveling kit for years now! Just ordered the Rough Country 6 inch Lift and the Builstein 6 lift struts! Can I still run the leveling bushings? If so will I have to install Add a leaf to have the truck sit level!Anyone run the same setup? Thanks

I had a leveling kit on my 07 and just installed the rough country 2 weeks ago with the new bilisten shocks and it sits level without the spacers in the front .... all the angles are nice too I don't think I would add the spacers in there because it would really make the angles much more than they are.

I'll be posting up some pics I took this weekend after a wash and wax

Here are the pics in this thread https://www.f150online.com/forums/ca...ml#post4960921

They came with covers on them already just the same as the stock shocks

It rides great now of course it's a little harder but I think the truck handles better now than it did before the lift!

You can only run a 1 inch spacer with the rough country lift. I will be getting the 6 inch lift struts this month and put them both on at the same time. And they don't come with boots order them. Looks better

Looks good. Pretty tall! Looks like it may need some taller tire now. Those Bushwackers would look great if PTM'd to the DSG two tone.

Also I would love to swap my step bars for yours.

Good plans will be a monster. Vehicles can be quite an expensive hobby.

Just watch your offset with 38s might get a lot of rubbing. I had some one the plastic under the bumper with 35x12.50 -12 offset. Also how's the ride with the struts? Worth getting you think?
