Alright guys i have a 2005 ford f150. I have 33inch terra grappler g2s, 18inch kmc xd wheels, towing mirrors, 2.5 inch leveling kit, spider headlights, tail lights, third brake light, and grill. I am either thinking of doing 35inch tires or a 6 inch lift. Which should i do first? or if you have any other suggestions to put roughly $1500 towards. Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

If you do a 6 inch lift, will that include drivetrain mods? A lift that massive is going to put the drive shafts at a very "non horizontal" angle, making for some U-joint stress; be prepared to change them. The front suspension may start experiencing the known "death wobble", so that too should be looked into.

33s (almost) always look too small with a 6 inch lift. I'm running 33s stock height and I think they look perfect, but any higher it will look goofy. Check out new tires first. Or if you got enough tread on the terras, keep saving and throw on the 35s and the 6 in. at the same time

I would do a 4 inch lift so you aren't tempted to get 37s and regear. 33s might not look too bad with a 4 inch lift, that's what I'm wanting to do.

That's exactly what I was thinking. These 33s only have about 1000 miles on them so I don't want to just waste them away.

You said you had $1500... where you going to get your 4" lift from ??

I'm not sure yet. Was thinking either RCX or Zone. What do you think?

Rough Country 4" lift is $1200?
