Default Lift Help

I recently bought a lifted 06 f-150. problem is I dont really know about trucks and I was wondering if anyone could guesstimate what my lift is and how what size my tires are. I looked on the tire but couldn't find the size.

Looks to be a4-6" lift, but it could just be a leveling kit. Look in the front fender wells and you will see a big spring whick is the strut. Look on top of that to see if there is a spacer. The tires look like 33s. What size rims are on their? They might be 325/60r18. The tire size should be somewhere on the sidewall and look like 33x12.50r20 or 325/60r18, but with different numbers maybe.

Thats right around 33x12.50 in size, so most likely its a 2.5" leveling kit or a 3" body lift. If the frame looks like it hangs down pretty far, then it might be a body lify. Take a picture where we can see how much the frame hangs down so we can see if its a body loft or leveling kit.

Should be more like a 13.5" wide tire.

You will be able to fit a sub with up to about 6" of mounting depth. You can fit a good 10 or a shallow 12 with no seat lift.

I have two 12" subs under my back seats. They are Kicker CVT pancake subs. Pancake means that they are thin so that they can fit. Sounds great.
