I'm thinking about lifting my F150 (i know i know let the flaming commence), I'm thinking either 4" or 6", gunna put 35s on it, I do a little bit of offroading, but a lot of field driving and i'm tired of the front end grinding on everything (its so low), so can anyone tell me what's a good kit? its going on a 2016

I drive a 14 f150 and I have been debating fox coilovers in the front for 2.5" of lift with a uniball upper control arm and 1" block in the rear to level. Will fit 35's with correct wheel offset and ride way better than stock or a lift.

Got a price from anyone? that sounds kinda appealing

Parts should be just short of $2k from what I've seen. Would want a better rear shock too.

I've had Superlift on an old Dodge, that was pretty decent. BDS on a Duramax and F350 that both seemed ok. I have a Ready Lift leveling kit on the current f350, and it seems ok to.

The only kits I've seen any issue with were the real big Full Throttle ones. Absolutely horrid quality.

Avoid any lift kit that has a cast iron spindle, the extra weight over the oem aluminum spindle will ride like crap. The extra unsprung weight is not something you want in your suspension.

Avoid any Skyjacker kits, I found them to have poor fitment of parts and the bushings were poor quality
