|  Good Lift for F-150
I'm looking to lift my 95 F-150 4X4 reg cab 302 with a 8' bed.
I want to lift it 6" but dont want to have to change the angle of the drive shafts.
something simple and affordable, whats the best kit/way to do this?
The truck will mainly be for mudbogs and driven on the road weekly |

About the only thing you can do with out changing the driveshaft angle is a body lift. You should be able to find one in the six inch range.

You could do a 3ish inch suspention lift, along with a 3" body lift. I don't think they make a six inch body lift. If they did, it would probably look bad, and be dangerous.

You could get the Tuff Country 4" lift, then get a 2" BL. That way you wouldn't need to mess with the drive shafts. Plus, with a 2" BL, you shouldn't need the steering shaft extension.

Thats the route I'd go too charlie. I'd probably give up on driving the truck on the street though, I'd be concerned about the high center of gravity.
