What should I know before installing a six inch lift f150?

so, I remember when I lifted my F150 for the first time. it was a six inch lift and man, I thought I was gettin’ a monster truck. But, man, the excitement turned into a headache real quick. First off, you gotta think about the cost. not just the lift kit but all the extra stuff like tires and alignment, they add up like crazy.

And then there’s the driving. it felt like I was steering a boat for the first week, totally not what I expected. have you ever tried parking a lifted truck in a normal spot? good luck with that.

Also, make sure your garage door is tall enough. learned that the hard way and had to duck a couple times. And don’t forget about the insurance; they kinda look at you funny when they see a lifted truck.

all this to say, lifts are awesome but just think about everything before jumping in. ever thought about how your fuel mileage changes too?

man I installed a 6 inch lift on my F150 last summer in Colorado and it was wild

definitely check for anything with warranty since i had some issues later that weren’t covered

brake lines and steering angles are big too take your time with those and don’t forget about the alignment cause that’s a must

overall I’m loving how it looks just gotta be careful with the height in drive-thrus now

makes it look mean though just be ready for a rough ride

Man I’ve had a six inch lift on my F150 for a year now in Texas and wow the off-roading is a game changer but I didn’t expect the drive to get bumpy

Also gas mileage took a hit for sure.

I’ve seen some crazy lifts around here in Texas and honestly a six inch lift can be a blast. Just be ready for the extra height in tight spots

I had to watch my buddy struggle to fit in our garage after his.

I ve seen a ton of guys get crazy with six inch lifts on their F150s around here in Georgia. It’s awesome but I’ve gotta say plan for some serious alignment issues down the road. Those tires get wild.

I’ve gotta say I put a six inch lift on my F150 back in Texas and it was wild. The ride feels different not just height wise but handling too.

Make sure you factor in bigger tires may hit the fenders.

I ve had my F150 with a six inch lift in Texas for a couple years now and man it changes everything. Gotta say going over bumps feels weird at first but the views are worth it. Just watch out for driveways and get ready for some serious alignment issues.

Ive done a lift on my F150 in Texas and its a wild ride. You gotta watch out for the angles though and make sure your alignment is spot on. Also those bigger tires can hit the wheel wells if you speed too much.

i’ve had my F150 lifted six inches in Texas and it’s been wild. I’ve faced some serious balance issues and the steering felt off for a bit. Definitely think about your tires and alignment first.

You might wanna check local laws too because some places are picky about lift kits. overall it changes the whole driving experience.

I ve got a 2016 F150 and lifted it six inches last summer in Texas. The ride quality changed a lot but it looks awesome. Just beware of the drive shaft angles.

I ve been down this road before with my F150 in Texas and let me tell you clearance is only part of it. Alignment issues suck and gas mileage takes a hit. Think before you lift.

i ve had my F150 lifted six inches and wow it looks beastly in Ontario but parking it can be a challenge.

My buddy had to get new gears cause of the bigger tires but once it was set up it handled pretty nicely.

Just make sure to check alignment regularly.

I remember when I put a lift on my F150 in Texas it looked great but the ride changed a lot. I didn’t expect the handling to be so different.

You should definitely consider tire size too cause that can really affect your MPG. I’ve seen some guys changing gears after a lift just to keep up.

I remember when I installed a six inch lift on my 2018 F150 up in the Rockies. It was a wild ride for sure. I had to deal with some serious adjustments long after.

Alignment issues were a pain but the off-road capabilities were worth it. Just be ready for some extra wear on tires and get a good set of sway bars.

Really keeps people turning their heads though.

I remember when my buddy lifted his F150 in Texas. First thing he found out was how awkward it was to get in and out lol.

Also parking became a real challenge like those parking garages are no joke.

And I ve heard some lifts mess with your alignment so keep an eye on that. Totally worth it for the look though.
