Getting The Edge Over Others? Being Bigger!!

ok well my friend has an 06 f150 supercrew witha 6" lift and 35" tires. well he is way proud of his truck and someone else at our school is getting this truck and my friend is pissed. the kid already got the truck and his dad said he is going to get the lift when the mom is out of the hospital because she cant get into a big truck, he will be getting a lift, tires, body lift on top of that and exhaust. pretty much everything my friend has except my friend doesnt have the body lift.... so my friends wants to be bigger so what are somethings that he could add to a suspension lift+body lift. he is going to get those 2 and have a total lift of 9", can you add-a-leaf or anything else to make his truck bigger or more original?

In my opinion if he would actually drive it off-road and not waste the money on a body kit, he would hold the higher ground over the kid who gets a lift just to "one up" the other kid with a lift. Don't get it lifted anyomre just for the sake of keeping up thats just ridiculous and a huge sign of insecurity if you ask me.

my friend actually does have a ranch and go offroad and have a reason for a lift and he wants to stay the highest at our school. the kid that is going to get the lift on his truck is a golfer that lives in the city and has no use for one.

He could take the running boards off to make it look higher. Or just pop some tires and save the time and effort.

ya he took off the running boards for a while to c if it looked higher but it wasnt really that noticeable and the running boards are a pretty convienent feature....so you cant add like add-a-leaf or any other things to make it higher or leaf springs or something?

what kind of lift does he have cause he could put a 2.5 autospring spacer ontop of his lift to get that aditional lift and an AAL in the rear, or get coilovers and crank them up.

he has a fabtech lift, will it work with that? but his truck is already higher in the front so any kind of leveling kit wont work...is this 2.5 all over or just in the front? so he can get the 2.5" spacer kit that will raise the front and get an add-a-leaf in the rear to level it out? he can do all that with a body lift and suspension lift?
