Default What is the best lift for my truck?

I just bought a used 2003 F-150 FX4 and I'm already ready to jack it up! What is the best suspension lift I could buy with out spending an insane amount of money? Any preferences? I would also like to see some pictures of the truck with the lifts!

There are about a gazillion threads on this.

Search first! Look at the stickies! Do some maintenance to the truck first!

torsion bar crank and rear blocks is free, and easy respectively. You can get 35's under it with just a crank.

how much lift would that give? Also would that increase the ground clearance?

Ground clearance is mostly gained by installing taller tires.

You can level the truck front to back with TBar, it be ride a little stiffer in the front.


Outside of this your going to spend $1000+ on a lift kit.

6" Zone can be had for around $1300 and it's a true 6" lift, not this 4-5" crap.
