Default 4" Lift Cost?

Maybe looking at a 4" lift but wanted to see what you guys spent on installation cost and who did the installation?

Also any recommendations on which lift to go with are welcome

Also how much of a hit did you take on MPG with 34-35" tires? I have the 2.7 eco with 3.55 gears and get 19 in town and 24 why when I stay out of the turbos

Truck is a 2015 XLT 4x4 2.7 Ecoboost

Rough Country is probably going to be the cheapest. $1200 plus about $600 for install.

You'll probably lose 4-5 MPG in the process.

Default 6 inch roughly same price

Just more info incase you wanted to go bigger. The prices are the same for RC 4 inch lift and 6 inch. In fact Tuesday this week a customer (with a 2016 f150 4x4) came into the shop I work at asking about a 4 inch lift , we let him know and he ended up going with 6 inch and 35s.

I'm wanting to run a RC lift on my 2wd supercrew soon.

If you're 2wd, I'd suggest Maxtrac. Its quicker and easy.

We just did the 6" RC on a 2wd Screw a few weeks back. Here's some pics when we did it.

I'm not so concerned about the parts cost, would like to go with BDS or Zone due to the warranty. For a 2.5" level with rancho quicklift my dealer is at $750 so that's why I figured I'd go all out for a 4".

With my extended warranty I can only go up to a 4" lift so that's why I'm not considering a 6". Thanks for the heads up tho

You know... That warranty makes no sense. The same exact parts need to be replaced to do a 4" or 6" lift on the truck. I would make sure you have this in writing before turning your warranty into scrap paper.

It's a 3rd called CNA national. I upgraded to the custom suspension warranty which allows up to 4" lift and up to 3 tire sizes larger. That is word for word in the contract. Ford says this is a great warranty company to work with. I should contact the dealership to see what they say about the 4" because I still have 1.5" on my bumper to bumper

You know anywhere close to Daytona Beach I can get a suspension lift installed for $600?

Everywhere around here wants right around $1000 for install.
