decide what size tires you ultimately want to run, then decide on lift size. to me nothing looks looks worse than a 6" lift with tires that a 4" would suffice. something to think about is, say you decide on 6" lift and 37" tires, now you will need to regear. it snowballs what you start with suspension lift, been there done that on numerous trucks and brands. save yourself some money and go with the 4", which in my opinion looks the best between height and tires filling the wheelwells.

I will eventually either get the RS7000MTs or get some Kings to bump my truck to a 6in. I have the 4in and love it but plan on in the future to run some 37s.

thats the reason I went with a 6". I knew sooner or later I would want to go higher. When the 2.5" level no longer made me happy, I knew I wouldn't be happy till I got as big as I could. Your trucks gonna look good with another couple inches.

You all are making me continue to go back and forth. If I go 6" I want to run 37s. If I go with a 4" I'm fine with 35s. For wheels I am going back and forth between the BMF Stealth Novakanes or the Fuel Off-road black milled Mavericks, both 18x9.

Here is a picture of my truck next to one of my old coworkers superdutys. It has an 8" lift with 38x15.50r20s. Although I love the stance, this is not practical for me. Anyone have a picture of 6" with 37s or even 35s next to stock or leveled F150?

Zone 6" on 37s for sure! Zone is made by BDS, in fact when they shipped my zone lift it was in BDS boxes. Lol
It's the same lift, minus the BDS engraving and lifetime warranty. Think it comes with a 3 year? Great lift for a lot cheaper. You'll always wanna go bigger!
