Default Best lift kit for a 95 f150?

I'm trying to lift my 95 f150, looking for the smoothest ride. Either a 4" or 6" lift. Probably getting 35" tires along with it and spacers too.

I'd go 6". If you're lifting that much and dead set on 35's, go with the 6 inch lift. Keep in mind that there will be risidual effects to consider also. Significant decrease in MPG, possible re-gear, not to mention you're going to want to get wheels (15x8-15x10 ideally) to get the best wear on your 35's. I personally am not a fan of the spacers, but to each their own. Good luck

Thank you!!! Not dead set on 35s, just thinking about that size. Haha lower mpg I don't know if I can't handle that hahaha, it's pretty bad now. Maybe I'll stick to what I got for a bit 😬

I went with the rough country 2 1/2" lift. I also stuck with stock Bronco 15x7.5 Bullethole wheels and 32x11.50 BFG KM2's. While I lost gas mileage, I got the classic look with a modern spin. It looks period correct, IMO

There is a great thread on the forum about a Rough Country 3" lift with 33's on it. Oh wait, I think it was 32's. Just search for Rough Country and I think you'll be able to find it. I think that's the route I'm gonna follow as well.

The Rough Country lift was designed around a 32x11.5 with a 15x8" wheel. Just installed it on my 96 2WD. Pretty simple and straightforward

You will need a re-gear with a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires. To 4.56, might as well spend a little more during the re-gear and get a truetrac LSD in the rear while you are at it, really helps with how light the rear end of our trucks are. I have 3.55 gearing currently with a 6 inch lift and 35's and it drives OK but I cannot wait until I get a re-gear. I can get to around 22-23 MPH in 1st gear alone on my Mazda 5 Speed, which is quite bad.
