I would probably go with a 4" lift this time if I knew I could get my truck in the garage. I will just go with another coil over level kit again.

My garage opening is 82-3/4".

I measured and 6-1/2" of lift plus tires is about the max I could go with my truck and not hit the garage opening

I will probably go with just a 1.5 inch level. I like a slight rake in the front and definitely don't wanna risk a reverse rake because those look awful

My last 2 F150's I started with ICON levels but eventually went with lifts. Some good looking rides in here. All I can say is with coilover level kits the ride was stiff but planted. Didn't feel like I had any articulation and it rattled things loose, not to mention severe CV angles. Here are some better pics of a 6" Pro-Comp Lift (60k warranty) and new Fox 2.5 Coilovers go in two weeks from now. The stock front strut/coilover seems to squishy on long dirt roads. I still need to get 35's but with 285/65/20's I clear car washes with about 2 inches to spare.

With my 4" suspension lift and 35x20x12.5 I have 1" of clearance on the rare occasion taking it to a car wash, prefer to hand wash it.

Beautiful truck you have there.

Well, gentlemen, I weighed the costs and advise. Went with the Rough Country 2.5 (thanks again stage3) after finding a stupid cheap deal on some Raptor wheels with Terra Grappler G2s 315 70r 17s. Also dechromed the mirror caps because they were the worst.

No rubbing (but damn close.) It's a whole new truck.

Thanks for all the help, guys.
