Default Looking for 2004 FX4 Lifting Suggestions..

I have a 2004 FX4 and I am looking to get a little lift.. (front tires rub a little) And I really just want that higher look.

What is the best way to get a couple of inches that will put the least wear on parts? And if you're aware of locatons in the Houston / Friendswood area, that will do a good job, that would be awesome as well. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Most people use a leveling kit, 2" or 2.5" to raise the front. This will give you the room you need assuming you are using a tire size equal to or less than 35" (4x4) or 33" (4x2).

Yes, FX4 4x4 and I'm riding on Nitto Grapplers - LT325/60R18 (almost 100% positive). That's equivalent to 33"s, right?

Yup 33.35" so any one of the leveling kits will give you plenty of room.

I have a 2004 FX4 with a leveling kit and just put BF Goodrich 305/65/18 on stock rims, with no issues at all.
