Default Thinking about a lift.

Good brands of lift? Either 3" or 6"

Will my 33's look SMALL compared to how they look now

Will installing a lift require me to remove my leveling kit?

Thank-you for any and all information you can provide to help me decide!

Anyone have any experience with SkyJacker? 3" lift worth it and will it really "show"? I see the 6" but those are a bit out of my price range at the moment.

With a 6 inch lift YES 33's will look very small. As for the leveling kit depends on the lift you buy but having a level stacked on top of a lift isnt the best idea.

How about an 8" lift? you won't have to worry about 35's rubbing. here is the link. they also have a 12" lift for our truck to. http://exaltmotorsports.com/i-131456...-f150-4x4.html

I am running a pro comp 6" with 35s and the only time I have a rubbing issue is when I take a fast sharp turn into a steep/bumpy entrance to a store or something

not sure about the off set but she is running toyo m/t 35/12.50/20 on fuel rims. the side lugs hit the little plastic flap that runs across the bottom of the bumper thats it.

33s will look a bit small. I run a 2.5 level and 35s with no issues rims are 20x9 +18 offset. They fill the wheel wells right up. And there are some lifts u can run with your level
