The truck is actually on the edge of a hill in those pics. Sits just about level, maybe a half inch low in the back. Remember the wheel well is cut higher in the front which gives the illusion of added lift

I have been running the skyjacker 6inch on my truck, which is exact same a yours. and it is a good kit. no problems so far, for the price hard to beat because of running new struts rather than spacers.

-24? What backspacing is that! I though 4.5 was already -12? Or am i looking at a bad chart?

Looking to make my 2wd f150 level. Thinking about a 2in lift in the front. Is that an accurate number? Does 2wd effect the amount of lift needed to level?

Measuring tape. Easiest way to find out how much you need.

I plan on buying the kit with spacers, and replacing that part of the lift coilovers....what's the quality like compared to the oem stuff? feels strong? cheap? looks good? I can get this kit for 1800 just dont know if i should save 500 and go with a fabtech...sorry for the thread crapping folks

I'm running a 6" skyjacker lift, nothing cheap or "iffy" about it. Got it on my Lariat. Running some ProComp coilovers, I have them pushed to the limit. So I'm actually at a 7.5" lift.
