4" or 6" on supercrew 2009 FX4 and which brand!
Hey guys, I'm really confused between the lift kit brand for my 2009 f150 super crew, its a long vehicle and pictures in the web sometimes shows a 4" as a tall and rough and sometimes the opposite, and when I look for 6" lifted f150 sometimes I find it extremely high and sometimes just perfect! !! An instant help and an approved pictures need to be provided.
I'm looking for a rough simple size and till now, im going for fabtech 6" basic system with dirt logic rear shocks - 35x12.5r18 mickey Thompson/nitto all terrain tires. Until guys give me ur experience.
Thanks forum =)

You can never really base it off of photos. Try and find a dealership within your willing radius and go check it out. In my opinion, 6" and 35s on a dealership lifted truck is not high enough. Looks like a stock Super Duty 2011+ in height. I am 5'11 also.

U got that right , based on the amount of pictures I've seen till now and im still confused!!! 4" and 6" became the same to me, I've seen 4 and 6 with the same hight!!! I think I'll go with 4" cuz this is my daily car and if im not satisfied with the hight, I'll add a leveling kit
btw do u have any experience in adding leveling kit on a lifting kit ? Thanks

go with the 6" if you are on the fence. If you do the 4" you will want more. I was going to do 4" but man am I glad I did 6".
BDS, Zone, and rough country are all reputable lift brands. Depends on how much you want to spend and if you want struts for the lift up front or spacers. They almost all use blocks in the back.
6" Zone on 2wd, 35x12.5, 20x9 -12. Going to add 1.5" lift spacer on top of my struts to level it out. Hard to tell from this pic but the rear is about 1.5" higher.
