Default Any suggestions on a lift and tires for an 04' F-150 on a limited budget

This summer i want to lift my trick and put some bigger tires on it and was wanting some input form people who already have a lifted F-150 or have some expertise on it. Thanks

Exactly.
The cheapest way to go is a 2 or 2 1/2 leveling kit with 33's or 35's.
You probably already know, The leveling kit is cheap, but the rims and tires is what hits your wallet. You can save money by keeping your stock wheels. Take your time by Doing some homework on the tires. Find the cheapest retailer and the right tire that you want.
I saw somewhere on this site an F150 with a 3" leveling kit upfront and a 1"block in back with 35's that looked really nice.
Hope I helped.

I got a pretty sweet deal on rims and tires at Discout Tire. They had a used set of 305 50 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers for $300 and I just bought some wheels for $600. The tires have been on the truck now for at least 70k miles, and still look like they have another 15k-20k left. I have done some research on leveling kits and I came across fatbobsgarage.com. They have some good deals. Hope this helps.
