My white 2011 FX4 SCrew 5.0 is getting delivered in July and I would like some opinions about a lift.

I am interested in a lift, but I am unsure about the height. I'm not so interested in which brand, that will come later, but I am concerned about getting the right lift for me and the right size tires to go with it.

For example: Some say that a 6 inch lift looks better with 37 inch tires, but could you go down to a 35 inch tire? The cons would be worse gas mileage with the 6 inch, but, subjectively, it looks better.

I think you all get the picture! Please share your opinions!!!

Thanks in advance!

I'm not gonna lie I hate lifted trucks but if your gonna do it just do a 2 inch body lift with 35 those are the best looking lifts I've ever seen, If it wad my truck I would do a 6 inch drop

6" and 37's

^^^What size rims are those?? Do you see a significant gas mileage drop?

Drop an FX4? The entire point of that trim level is off road....yeah, lets lower it.

Yeah a 4 wheel drive street truck would be sick and handle amazing! Kinda like a AWD kinda different but same concept

They are 17's, and I did see a drop in fuel economy, but I havent got gears yet so it should improve some. Right now I am getting about 13-14 city and 15-16 on the county roads, I have no reason to drive on the highway so cant tell you the fuel economy on the highway.

If i had the money, i would get a 4 inch rancho lift with 35's. IMO its the perfect amount of lift. It all comes down to personal preference.

+1 6 is a bit much IMO

The cool thing is, FX4 trim is NOT A STREET TRUCK.

It's built to be an off road truck.
