If the diesel f150 is similar to the current outgoing f150 models then it'll probably have a ground clearance of around 221-239 mm. That's enough for some but I'm wondering if anyone will lift theirs a couple of inches more?

 

[Smokin]

I really doubt it.. I'm usually content with the heights. Don't plan on taking it through anything crazy anyways that'll require a lift on it

 

[TrailForder]

Not exactly a lift but more of a Baja kit. I am interested in one for the improved suspension and I assume an inch or two will be added as a consequence.

 

[Smokin]

See something like that wouldn't be bad. Not to mention they look pretty darn cool.

 

[FordFever]

What kit is that? Looks like the f150 was lifted and given some rock crawling armor.

 

[Smokin]

Not too sure which kit exactly it is, but its from the Baja Kits website. Linked it !

 

[FordFever]

should have expected baja kit, those things usually turns any pickup into a beast. They have suspension kits too!

Baja Kit + Go Rhino = Awesomeness from Death Race.

perfect for the kind of dunes you find in the middle east those guys have the best playground for these.

Oh yea !

Yes I'm planning a lift and it done

Fox 6" lift kit with 2.5" remote res complete. Lost about 3-4 MPG depending on where I drive but also added Bully Dog BDX programmer with Performance and daily tune. The tune was done at 5 star.

Icon 2.5" coilover leveling kit with Delta upper control arms. 18" race line on 33 Toyo's

16 to 18mpg in town 20 to 21 on Highway[remember I live in the smog state of Calif] Don't get me started.

Thinking about adding a 6” BDS to my King Ranch. This is my first brand new truck, previously was driving a 97 F250. Does anyone know or care to explain how Ford handles the factory warranty or service program if a lift is added? Is there only potential for the warranty to be voided if there is a mechanical failure?

I'm assuming those planning lifts and larger tire sizes are purchasing their trucks with the 3.55 axle ratio instead of the 3.31 axle ratio?

 

[wreedsvt]

Im probably going to do Fox Coilovers in the front and a 3" block out back.

BDS does not currently offer a lift for our Powerstroke diesels. Why it matters for their lifts, I have no idea.


Also, with a BDS lift you will retain a suspension warranty. Their kits are killer.



I very much want to get a BDS lift for my truck, but for now I am settling for my level and have plans to squeeze in some 34" Nittos.. It's a daily driver anyhow so a lift for the highway is kinda pointless. Still want one though. Funny how that works.

I just got an '18 King Ranch. I put a Fox Adjustable leveling kit with Bilstein 5100's all around. It definitely gave it better road manners and tightened up the ride. Loving the quiet of a truck on road tires. My '14 Lariat has a 6" BDS Lift, Fox coilovers, 4.10 gears and
Toyo 35" R/T's. Just a shout out on those tires. I just put on the third pair ( 130k miles) Both sets lasted 65k, and had > 20k left on them. They just get a little loud at that point. Stuck with that '14, cause it's worth way more to me than book. Drove all the $$ value out of that.

 

[wreedsvt]

Can you post a link to the FOX kit with Bilsteins? I dont understand. I thought the FOX were FOX coil and shocks?

 

[Kyle Chapman]

I’m planning the icon 2.5 coilovers with delta joint control arms

You are right. My sales guy had said, either/ or. I messed it up. So I did get the Bilstein 5100 set up. 1,000 miles on them now. Truck handles like a '65 Galaxy, and I knew it was a mistake after the first corner. Absolutely sucks ****. The Great people at Eastern Off Road , in VA Beach, are crediting me back my entire investment against an Icon coilover setup. I'm too spoiled by the coilover ride on my "14 ECO, that I can't settle for less. This is the picture I took to sell my 130K mile Eco, with a 6" BDS lift, 4.10 gears, and Fox Coilovers. It's such an awesome ride I kept it to DD, and leave the ATS-V in the garage.
