6" Lift Help

Right now im looking to get a 6" suspension lift for my 06 f150 xlt. There are many different options out there to choose from. For around 2,000 to 2,500$, what would be the best brand/lift to go with? Any opinions or pictures of lifts you have would be greatly appreciated.

^agree with that.

for that price, any lift brand is in your price range besides rize's 8". you can get a lift for around $1300-$1500 if you shop around. for 2k-$2500 you are getting the upgraded version of a few brands lifts with coil overs.

There are tons of threads for this same question. I would try and use the search, all the info and pics will be there.

I got my Skyjacker 6" kit off ebay for $1099. Normally $1800-$2600 other places. You will get too many opinions about what kit to use. Some people will love there brand of kit and others will hate it. Just do the research. For instance Skyjacker kits keep all stock positions of susp components just drops them down. Fabtech and procomp do not. Fabtech kits widne the track width of the front end. BDS and Rize problem make the best kits(in my opinion) if you are going to be beating your suspension up. But they are usually the most expensive. Sorry no picks of mine bc its not going on till april 15.

35" nitto trail grapplers
(already have SCT tuner)
08 Screw XLT

Wish I was still in Houston, everything for these truck is cheaper there. In San Diego bc of the military right now and everything cost more.
