I guess it really depends on what you paid for the truck. Anyway, love to see the final product. I am guessing you own the auto body shop?

Would you rather go with:

ReadyLIFT Off-Road Lift Kit 44-2175 - 7" front, 5" rear, no shocks
https://www.realtruck.com/readylift-...s/44-2175.html

or

Rough Country 6 inch Suspension Lift Kit with Lifted Struts for the Ford F-150 4WD
http://www.truckspring.com/products/...58-prd-24.aspx

The rough country will be like $100-200 less.
Why not talk to BajaLifts. They are on the forums. They have the Raptor style long arm suspensions

For the price of those lift kits you can have G1 Raptor take-offs. Don't do all this good work and then lift it. It'll be worth more with Raptor suspension and you don't have to cut anything.

I'd go with long travel suspension, raptor takeoffs, or the Readylift 7". In that order. Keep up the good work!

Long travel or Raptor takeoff should really be your only 2 options.

badass build. whatever you do I'd avoid Rough Country. I've seen more issues with their lifts than anything else. but then I personally would stick to something like a 4" for this truck, to maintain a Raptor-esque stance

I dont know how I forgot to upload these, but here's more.

Getting nickle and dimed and trying to button everything up. Quite frustrating.

I am quite upset that I wont be able to use the "Raptor" tail gate applique or a knock off due to the handle location on the 09-14 tailgate. Damnit.
