Default Leveling or Lift Kit

Hello All,
I am currently deciding between a 4-6inch lift kit and a 3 inch leveling kit for my 2014 F-150 FX4.

What do you guys recommend/prefer?

PLEASE POST PICTURES OR YOUR TRUCKS

Thanks,

Nick

3" level is asking for front end issues.

2" level with 285/65



2" level with 35x12.5



4" RCX with 35x12.5


6" lift was only 100 or so more but the 4" lift retains factory angles.

I had never owned a lifted truck before the one I bought on Saturday, and in talking to most "lift guys" I was advised to go with a 6" lift. This truck is essentially a "test truck" for me to see what I want to do with my 2016 / 2017 F150 when I get it in a couple of years.

I've only had the kit installed for a couple of days now, but I'm leaning towards going down to a 4" kit when I buy my new one. I like the look of the wheel wells filled a bit more I think, and for what I'm doing that height will suit me fine.

A leveling kit with 35s looks great too, but you'll have to do some trimming to avoid the rubbing on the fender liners.

If you can afford it, a lift is better than a level kit especially if its more than a inch or two.

Lift.

I've done both, if you're keeping the truck a true suspension lift is worth the difference in price for sure. Your front end will actually hold together instead of destroying everything piece by piece.

Het there. I have the same exact truck as you down to the color. I am considering doing a 2" left as ell. Have you had ANY issues with your kit, problem, etc? I spoke with the service manager at my local dealer and he says they see very few trucks with problems from a 2" leveling kit. He did state that the kits will void the warranty if there were front end issues.
