Recently traded in my 9 inch lifted 2011 5.0 on a 2015 ecoboost. Need to get this ecoboost lifted, but I don't think 6" is enough. Thinking bout trying to run a 6" rough country kit with billstein leveling shocks and camburg uca's. Will I be able to then run it like a 7.5-8" lift effectively? I know the angles won't be ideal, but it wouldn't be any worse than a leveling kit on stock suspension, would it?

 

Also, assuming it does work, I should be able to tuck atleast 37x12.5's on a 20x10 wheel with -24 offset, possibly even a 37x13.5, correct?

 

Due to crash bars, I'd say probably not.

 

I'm not sure if certain brands are better about it than others but you have to think too if your 6" lift is going to add to your cv angles any at all. I know there is a diff drop but does it compensate 100% or is it 90% which is good enough, until you add a leveling kit on top of it.

 

can cut crash bars can you not?

 

True. But would the idea be feasible other than angles? Could run bilsteins at the half setting so it's only a 7 inch lift if it's too awful of an angle.

 

You can cut anything that's metal. When you slam into the rear of another vehicle and kill someone, what do you think will go in the report? I'd rather have a safe truck than look cool.

 

I'm not even sure that the super cab has crash bars. Was reading that only super crews have them?

 

Oh, well that I can't answer. I am not trying to be rude. It seems that cutting something off that aids in safety due to a crash, seems a bit silly. That's all.

 

the main question was if I could stack billsteins with a 6 inch lift anyway. I'll deal with crash bars/trimming in the future if needed, which I have my doubts it will be if I can get 8 inches of lift.
