Default Its Never High Enough

Hey all,

I currently have a 6" Pro Comp suspension lift on my 2006 F150 Fx4 Ext cab and I'd like to lift 'er up a few more inches. I know about lifting the rear end another 2" with add-a-leaf, and I've been debating a 3" body lift, but how would I go about lifting the front end another 1" or 2 without completely murdering my angles on my components on my front end?

Appreciate any input.

Two words... Coil-overs.

The only adjustable ones I can find are for stock trucks. Know of anyone who sells them for lifted trucks?

I've got bilstein 5100 struts.. They have a circlip that u can leave at stock height or raise 2", accomplishing a 8" lift when "stacked" with your 6". Coilovers work too.. Could go up to 3" if you really wanted to.. Or stack a strut spacer...

If you do the Billy's let me know.. Curious to see if you actually gain a true 2". I have no idea about mine as I did my procomp 6" and struts at the same time

Just put a 2" leveling kit on. I've been running one on 6" lift for years now.

I did my lower ball joints at 60k with 30k of that being on my lift. A 2" level isn't that bad, it's when you go higher than that you start having issues.
