Default Lift

Looking to lift my 2011 fx4 4 inches. Don't want to break the bank but want to make sure I don't have any issues in the future. I want to put 33's on after. Any suggestions on the lift would be appreciated. My 01 off-road didn't site this low and I don't know much about lifting trucks. Also if anyone knows of a trustworthy shop in mass or ct that would be great. Thanks!

Personally I'm not sure a 4" lift with 33's is gonna look right.

Here's my 3" lift on 33's left over from when I was stock height, and I'm still going to be going with bigger tires. I still think 3" is the ideal height for these trucks.

I have the 4in Lift from Rancho. I am running 33s and 17s, it doesn't look that bad. It's definitely noticeable but not enough to the point where you want to get 35s ASAP. I will be bumping up to 35s in the future but the 33s are fine for now.

Yeah, they look nice with wider 33's on aftermarket wheels. On stock wheels I think 33's look kinda goofy when the truck is tall like that.

Yeah, at least 12 wide 33s. The 11s and under look odd and out of place.

I have a 3" level on right now and my 33x13.50s looked awesome but for alignment and balljoint issues I got a NIB Zone 4" for $600 and I'm almost done with it. I think it will look great!

F150Lifts.com Bilstein/Boss coilovers and a set of Raptor rear blocks. I will have some ProComp UCA's coming soon too.
