best 6 inch suspension lift

What is the best 6 inch suspension lift for a 2008 ford f150 lariat 4 wheel drive that would be a bolt on or just about a bolt on. Where would i buy this at online. What would be the best tires and rims to run with a 6 inch lift that are good for mud, snow, and the street.

I agree, Fabtech and Toyo's. I just had a good experience with Top Gun Customz so I would take a look at them. I know some people haven't, but what company doesn't have some issues from time to time. 4wheelonline normally has some pretty good prices as well.

Toyo MTs perform poorly offroad compared to other MTs. They are a super hard compound and are extremely heavy, hence why they last so long. I've got several friends with the Toyos, and while they are really quiet and last forever, offroad performance is lacking (for a mud terrain tire).

If you want miles out of your tires but see a decent bit of offroading, I think the KM2s or MTZs are better options.

I agree. I'd also suggest the 6 inch Fabtech lift with some 35's on 18 or 20 inch wheels. Personally, I'd go with a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing.

I went with the procomp stage 1. No complaints, but if I had to do it again i'd go with a stage 2 and get the coilovers. I can't say I've heard of anyone who's had trouble with there lifts, but procomp and fabtech seem to be the one's most people are going with.

I know that a lot of people dont know too much about the brand BDS around My area but I feel that they make a great kit. They are not much more in price than the fabtec and pro-comp PLUS there is a FREE LIFETIME replacement on ALL of their lift parts. including leaf-springs. As long as you are the original owner/purchaser...that kind of customer service and guarantee stands out to me over the other lifts...just my 2 cents
