I've been looking to buy an F150 for about a month but haven't found exactly what I want at a price I can afford.

I'm thinking about driving to look at this one: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false


But, it's lifted, which I don't really want. I just sold a Jeep on 35's to get something more reasonable. How much lift do you think is on this thing, and how bad will the mpg's suck?

The place selling it doesn't know how big the lift is.

looks like a 6in and you will prob get around 10-13 mps depending if its re geared or what and how you drive lol

Wow! Wish we had deals like that in Hawaii!

Thanks. That's probably a little bigger than I want. It looks like a nice truck for the money though. I may go look at it and talk myself into it. Then my wife will leave me because I just sold an 8mpg-getting jeep to buy something more practical.

Believe me, it's rare to find one at that price around here too. The price has me wanting to go buy it despite the lift.

pull that lift, sell it, and the truck just got $1000+ cheaper!

That's not a bad idea.

It says fabtech suspension lift, and they only make 6" lifts. If it is a coilover lift, then you can probably get 2k for the lift. If it doesnt have the coilover, you can easily get 1-1.5k for the lift.

2mpg increase is more economical lol. You could get it and keep the lift just down size tires to 33 and you would probably be good to go. Also depends on what gears are in it. I have a 08 5.4 screw with 3.73 gears 35" tires and a 6 inch lift and get about 12mpg average in town with a edge tuner

Nice looking truck. Is it a Heavy Duty too? I cant make out lugs but kinda looks like 7. Price seems about normal for around this area
