Default Which lift kit?

Hey guys. I've been a member on here for years but haven't been on here lately!
It's finally time to put a 6inch lift on the ecoboost.
Which brand is everyone going with these days?? Fab tech zone bds etc...
Feel free to post pics! I'd like to keep it under 2k

I have a 4" rancho. The 6" is basically the same. For these trucks, this lift is top quality. Love the adjustable 9000 shocks too.

Huge fan of the Rancho kit! I'm running the 6" version with RS7000MT's. The quality is top notch. The one-piece subframe is a beast. Mine gets used off road regularly and I couldn't be happier with the kit's performance!

If you do the math to convert a metric size tire to standard a 295/60R20 converts 33.94X11.61

In my opinion, the perfect lift would be a Rancho/Skyjacker combo. I would use Rancho's front components so I could run 18's, and Skyjacker's leafs in the rear so I don't have to use blocks which cause axle wrap/wheel hop. That (IMO) would be the perfect lift setup.

Usually most (not all, but most) people who like BDS don't really know why they like it, other than the fact that "other people like it" and the warranty. All lifts have warranties. BDS lifts use blocks. No quality lift should use blocks. Any company in the suspension business should already know the drawbacks of blocks and should not prey on ignorant customers who don't know any better.
