2015 ford f150 lift questions....
 
Hey dudes......

I am really new to this whole truck thing. I just got a new f150 about a month ago and i am looking to put a lift on it and some bigger rubbers. I am looking for a 2.5 inch lift or 3. Just was curious if u guys have had any experience or tips or sites to buy a lift from. Also tires i am looking for 32 inch to 33.

thanks for the help

Check North Shore Off-Road, Big Country Customs, or Four Wheel Parts (there are others around, those are just the shops that come immediately to mind).

i would stick with 18" wheels and 33's with a leveling kit, specially for a brand new truck. just got a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit installed on my 2015 Sierra and it rides stock. for the Sierra i can run 33x11.5x20. im not to familiar with fords but i know you can stuff bigger tires in them with just a simple leveling kit

this kit from pro comp only front strut spacers that would level the truck and give you 3" up front.

this kit is from Rough Country which is the same brand i am using on my truck and for a leveling kit its great. plus this kit has rear spacers to give you more room out back and restores some factory "rake".

hope this gives you a starting point.

question,why would you only lift the front and leave the rear??.

^ typically stock trucks sit higher in the rear to handle heavy loads. If you're not hauling heavy loads very often you don't need the rake.

Leveling kits make every truck look better IMO.

Nice F150 btw, OP.

Yup, i when with abit of a rake because i haul my equipment with me and dont not want my ass sitting lower than the front, so with a front only leveling kit you might have that "ass sag" everytime you have a good heavy load. But if you are not hauling anything at all and you like a completely leveld truck a front only leveling kit might be the one you are looking for.

running 35's on my 2011 f150 with stock 20" wheels and just a leveling kit in the front. no issues here what so ever. well, gas mileage did drop buy like 3L/100km but meh, it is a truck after all.

and op, visit www.f150forum.com theres tons of info on what setups will work the best for your truck. just going to have to sit back and weed through the posts.

here i thought those 3'' skyjacker rear & front setups were the only way to go...Might just go for the simple 200 dollar leveling kit.

if you're into the whole 3" or 4" lift kit then go that route. i personally just wanted the truck to sit level and to still fit into most underground parking lots.

For those who are wondering about clearance, i have no problems going in and out of the bush, lodging roads and even moderate offroading, in fact there was a lifted dodge ram (6" lift) in front of me while i was in the bush 2 weeks ago and i have no problems keeping up offroads wise and the dodge was smacking all the lower branches and probably damaging paint.
