Default Best cheap lifts

Hey I have a 05 f150 xlt 4.6L triton 4wd and I'm looking a lift kit or a Frankenstein lift kit of some sort to achieve a 4inch lift. I need something really cheap as for I'm in highschool and can't spend much money. I want it to ride smooth if possible and level. Any help?

Get a leveling kit with a bigger block in the rear. Or save up and get the rough country kit for $1,300.

There is no decent cheap suspension lift for these trucks as you have to get new steering knuckles and drop the axle for an actual lift.

Cheap? $199 http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-lev...-kit-570c.html


That will get you 2.5" then you just need to find bigger tires. 31" to 34" tire gets you another 1.5" of lift. BOOM 4" total!

These don't go together.

What is your actual budget?

Do not do a " Frankenstein Lift "!

You will fall into this thread if you start piecing things together...

Exactly. When I read this I instantly thought of that disaster.
