Lift kit?

Hello Guys,
I'm JC from Miami and just got an 06 f-150 4 doors.
Planing on adding 20" wheels and 305/55/20 Nitto All Terrain tires, and my question is:
How much do I need to lift the truck? 3"? Just want to have enough room. And wich kit do you guys recommend?

Thanks and Merry X-mas!
JC

rancho rcd or superlift 4" kits would be fine.

I agree. However, since you only want to fit a 33x12.50, you can use just a 2 or 2.5 inch leveling kit to lift the front of your truck. I'd suggest the Autospring kit if you decide to go that route.

ive got 305/70 R 16s stock on mine. yours come out to the same size. different gen but the new ones don't appear to sit any lower. no rubbing at full turn and flex. ive also had 1,000 lbs in the bed. no lift needed

you do not need any lift to clear those tires as long as you stay close to the factory wheel offset of +44
