I was just doing some reading and ran across someone asking about getting the 2" LK and the 4" lift to get the 6" lift he wanted without having to buy the actual 6" lift kit that is really pricey.

Someone suggested he go with the body kit after doing the 2" LK, just searching around found some 3" body kits, but they all seem to be made of High Grade Reinforced Nylon Lift Blocks...

Has anyone install these kits? Has anyone found one for the 2011 V6 F150? everything I found was prior to 2009 and clearly stated V8 only...

thanks

 

I have used Performance Accessories kits in the past. AFAIK they are the best, but I'm not sure I know of another brand now that I think of it. I have kicked around the idea of doing a BL but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Let me know if you install one, and call the company to see if the V-8 and V-6 kits are interchangeable

 

Thanks, I guess ill be calling or going to the local shops around here to ask..

 

well I called 1 local shop around here and they don't have a body lift for the 2011 F150 V6

 

Called another place and was told $900 for 3" body lift, but couldn't tell me if it would work on the V6

 

I hope that price is installed? Call the manufacturer or send them an email

 

$900 was walk out price, $1200 was install price.. for that kind of money, rather spend the couple hundred more for a suspension lift..

 

I saw them somewhere on sale recently for below $500. Summit racing maybe? $900 is outrageous

 

yea no doubt.. I was calling around to see if everyone would say the same thing about not working on the V6 and only V8

 

Well just heard back from Performance Accessories - Perfomance Accessories

Here is the response:
We have actually just finished the R&D and it will be part number 70103 and separate Gap Guard 6742. This will be available in approx. 30 days as well as pricing. Just check back in approx. 30 days.

hope this is helpful to someone that may be looking for the kit as well..

 

Are you going to do it? I'm curious what it will look like. Like I said I have had BL kits on a few trucks in the past but I'm getting a little older now and not sure I want to look like some teenage kid driving around in a truck that high. BUT I always say growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional 😜

 

Honestly I did a body lift and I've defended the decision, I did a 4" lift but wished it was a bit taller, but you will be much happier if you start with a suspension lift before considering body lift. I added air bags for load and trailer but they can lift the rear a good 4-5 inches I am now considering a 2" level kit with it I think would be a great look.

Having done it and spent time around lifted trucks you learn that you will be very happy if you spend the time and money on high quality parts and installation as well as not going shy from the height you want. You'll be very disappointed if you go through the trouble and it's not what you expected or doesn't hold up. Body lifts have their place mine worked out for me but regret of not going with suspension or enough height sucks
