Default Question about lifting/

I have a 2006 F150 4x4 with the 2inch NCD leveling kit already on it. With 325/60/18 which is a 35 inch tire. I am wanting around two more inches of lift. i was wondering what my options are to get the few extra inches?. Thanks for any help.

a 325/60/18 is on a 33" tire, a 325/65/18 is a 35" tire. yank off the leveling kit and buy a suspension lift or leave the leveling kit and add a body lift, i would suggest the 1st one though

That is what I meant 325/65/18. If I did the body lift I was wondering if the brakes lines and anything else would be to short for the leveling kit and body lift. I wish there was a way to doing something to the suspension to get a few inches. I like the way the leveling kit looks.

body lift has nothing to do with the brake lines, they are quite labor extensive though. go with a suspension or body, only options you got.

I know the body lifts aren't hard I have put them on two Z-71's and one ranger. I may give it a try.

they are like twice as much BS as those, body lifting these newer trucks is sooo not worth it IMO

I agree with ATOM on this, Just my opinion though. I have seen a guy that has a BL on his 05. He says it squeaks and makes all kinds of noise that it didn't before the lift. Plus, there is so much more frame that shows under it, it makes it look more topheavy. Just weird to me. But to each his own.
