Lift Kits
Looking for some tips or Ideas on raising my 2010 F150 4x4. Was going to go 6" but not to sure if i need 3" for body and 3" for sus. Some people say if you do body then there is a gab between your bumpers and the body?

You can get brackets to relocate your bumpers. I personally would go all suspension lift if possible. The other way may be cheaper, but there is a greater chance of the body moving around on the mounts. Not real likely, but definetly possible. There are a bunch of great 6" lifts out there that are reasonbly priced

suspension
I would avoid body lifts, especially on a new truck. I went with the 6" Rough Country and love it. Definitely advise it, plus lifetime warranty on everything. In my opining, body kits always look a little strange plus installation is a big pain.

I'm gonna agree with the others and say find a full 6 inch suspension kit. A good buddy of mine had a body lift on his Tacoma and over time it actually punched holes into his cab and when his truck got T-boned, the cab nearly separated from the frame.
