Default Looking to lift

New to the forum so if it doesnt go here, sorry. PLUS i know im probably beating a dead horse with the subect but im looking to lift my 2006 F-150 fx4. Looking to keep it as cheap as possible. Ive looked around on here but no one really gives a straight answer. Any help is appreciated. A link would be just dandy!

Don't think you'll find one for that cheap...If you did would you really want it on your truck? 6 inches cheap would be Zone or Rough Country....But you'll still need another 500 bucks..

Well there's a guy running a 3" level and 3" body lift on 37's.

There's plenty of ways to get these trucks high.

A 2.5" leveling kit, AAL. And 3" body lift would get you around 5.5". Enough to clear 37's if you tried hard enough.

No clue about prices

That's the spirit. And the beauty about all of that, is later on down the road you can put a 4 or 6" lift kit on(as long as its a rear block kit with front replacement springs).

And you can go from 5.5" of lift to 10.5" or 11.5".

That's enough room to run 40's. If you ever wanted to go that high.

That's pretty much max unless you buy an 8" kit, but a whole different breed of problems needs to be solved.
