I currently have a 2013 F150 Ecoboost. As of now it has a leveling kit on 295/18 trail grapplers. I want to go bigger. Ive got my eyes set on a 6 In BDS lift. The only question I have is, will this make it look significantly different. Im also getting new tires and rims. What looks better with this size lift 35s or 37s? I saw some people saying that the 37s looked a bit crammed with only the 6 inch lift. Is there something else I can put on it to make it look better or would it look fine with it? Or would just 35s on a 6 inch BDS make it look different.

Another thing... How will this effect my gas mileage from my truck right now?

It all depends on your taste. For most of the trucks/lifts that I see the 35s are as big as you want with a 4" and 37s seem to be the most popular on 6"s. I, personally, wanted to keep my stock wheels so I went with 295/70R18 Terra Grapplers and eventually will go to the same size in Trail Grapplers when these wear out. I had a 2" level and all drove great, but now I have installed a 4" BDS kit and 1.5" Bora spacers. I love the look and more importantly the function. I don't live in the mud, but I do love to play. I also hunt a lot and this setup gets me everywhere I want to go and back again. I can also still fit in parking garages, car washes and my garage if the need arises. My truck is an everything truck and I took everything into consideration when choosing this setup. Here are some pics:

You can do it but it depends on the offset.

I'm 5.0 and I lost roughly 2-3 MPG with the tires, maybe 1 more with the lift.

Forgot to mention 6" Rough Country Lift with 35s
