I'm new to suspension lifts and have a question. I have a 2010 F150 SCREW XLT with a 2.5" Leveling Kit and 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers. I feel like it is still to stock looking so thought about doing a 4" lift. I know the 6" lift is about the same price but worried it might not fit in the garage. HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:
1. If I put on a 4" lift I will remove the Leveling Kit and not need it?

2. Am I correct that a 4" lift will only raise the back 1-2 inches and the front 1-2 inches from what it is now with the Leveling Kit?

3. Does anybody have pics comparing a Leveled and a 4" lift on a F150?

4. Does anybody have pics of a 4" lift on a F150...every time I look I seem to find only 6" lifts?

Thanks!

 

search. all your questions can easily be answered with a 30 second search.

2 threads below yours is a thread w/ a truck that just got a 4" installed.

 

rancho, sky jacker and rough country i know make 4" lifts for the nbs

 

Do u want bigger tires or more clearance? There are members with your body style and that same size level running 35s. Could do that and see where u are at. Are u running stock wheels or wheels with low bs? If stock or similar the 35s wouldn't be much of an issue and still clear the garage.

 

I currently have 20" XD Monsters with a -12 offset so they hang out about 2 inches on 33" trail grapplers. I agree about the 35s...I will probably start with that first. I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what I am looking at with a lift and how it compares to what I have now.

 

3" readylift....chux trux??? I see the KCMO part. I cant say much about the 4". I just did my 6" procomp and love it. If your garage opening is at least 7' you can clear. mine is 6'10" and i barely fit with 6" lift...however i park in my shed.

 

Thanks Big Smokey...I got my work done at Gary Crossley Ford in Liberty...I just trust the work they do and if something goes wrong I know they wont screw me on my warranty. Corey does a great job! What size are the tires on your 2010?

 

They are 33's Kinda small, but hate to just give them away. they have about 15000 miles on them. If i end up keeping this truck im going to a 37 hopefully sooner then later. Gary Crossley has some decent prices on wheels and tires from what i have researched also. Thats where my boss buys his trucks. Nice dealership.

Also for the money i dont know if a 4" lift is worth it...i think thats why you see more 6" out there because with the leveling kits and AAL they make for our trucks you almost achieve the same results for a lot less money. however a nice suspension kit with coilovers looks and feels better from my own experience. My last screw had the 3" level and AAL. it seemed like it was almost as high as my truck now minus the little tires that i have on it.
Its all what you prefer...i always wanted an actual suspension lift and always opted for leveling kits, but now that ive lifted i wont ever level again. its awesome. good luck.. DO IT

 

What can you tell me about aal?

 

Aal? It's an add a leaf. It'll basically add 1 to 2" in the rear. It's so you don't have to run a really tall block or a block at all, it goes into your current leaf pack and it adds a little more weight capacity but it also rides stiffer iirc.

 

Rides stiffer if you add a short leaf. I did the long leaf and i thought my truck rode much better....mine seemed squishy? if that makes sense. Long leaf is harder, but worth the extra time. with a 3" level you are probably bulldogging just a touch...i was and it brought the rear up 2" and i had an inch of rake which was ok with me because i was level when i towed or put anything in the bed.

 

Thanks guys...I appreciate the help...still not sure on 4", 6", or nothing...for sure going to do 35s and programmer...need to start researching programmers and keep my eyes and ears open on lifts
