Hello, I have a 2011 3.5L Ecoboost FX4 F150. Im going to get my truck lifted in the next couple weeks and i really just want to run 35s. I was told by a guy at a truck accessories shop that i could not run 35s with just a 4in lift(i dont want to have to cut my truck so it wont rub), therefore i was gonna get a 6in lift. Is that true? And any recommendations on whether i should get a 4in or 6in lift. (Also have a 2"in leveling kit on the front to run 33s right now, idk if that will affect anything)
Thanks!

Lies....plenty of people on here are running 35's with just a 2"-2.5" level. You can easily run 35's on a 4" lift. Obviously, I am going to have to state that it would depend on your wheels offset and width. A 20x12 -44mm would be very different than a 20x9 -12mm.

4 inch kits "recommended" is generally 35s.

6 inch kits 37s.

4" lift with 35x12.50x18 on 9" wide, -12 offset wheels and 2wd which sits about 2" lower than a 4wd and the only trimming I had to do is a little slice of the plastic below the front bumper on each side.




On a 4wd a 4" lift will be more than enough, as mentioned if you go with negative offset wheel like I'm running that little bit of trimming isn't required but I didn't like the reminiscent sound of a playing card in the spokes when turning. Stock wheels are around +44 offset the closer you get to 0 the more they will stick out and might need some trimming.

it really all comes down to wheel size, width and offset. I have a 6inch zone with 35s on a 10.5 inch wide wheel with -12 offset and it fits and looks badass. if you had to trim i would think it would just be the plastic piece under the front bumper.

ps my zone 6" rides great

Do you mind posting picks? I will probably go with the 6" zone lift with some 35x12.5 tires. I'm just not sure on which offset I should go with

How high just comes down to what the size and offset the wheel has. I rub a tiny bit at full lock and hitting a bump with a 6" and 20x10-25 offset. But I like the big lip look. I say pick your wheel , then that will pick your lift for you. But in all honesty 6" is not that big on these trucks.
