Hi. I am looking to lift my current truck but am nervous about what height I should go.. My current truck is not a ford and in my area there arnt many lifted trucks.. I am trying to get an idea on the height but the only lifted truck i have ever been around was my brothers which was a 97 Ford F350.. I have pics below of the truck lifted and when i asked my brother if he remembered what size lift he had put in he thought it was a 6inch lift but the truck was huge and i cant see it being a 6inc lift.. i mean you had to literally jump to get in it which is what i am nervous about.. and i am 6ft so for me to have to jump to get in i would assume its more then 6inches.. i am only lookign for a mild lift.. something where anyone can get in without a problem.. including my gf who is only 5'4... anyway.. if anyone could give some insight as to what size lift this probably is that would really help me out.. unfortunately we no longer have the truck so i cant measure anythign out..

 

If your current truck is not a Ford, why join a Ford site? Another site could probably tell you what a good size lift would be for it. Usually people determine a lift by what size tires they want. However, it sounds to me like you just want it for looks. If your worried about your 5'4 girlfriend having trouble getting in- don't lift it.

I couldn't really tell you what the lift is. Lets say 6 inch? But it makes no difference. A lift on a different vehicle could look different. And as you said, you don't want it to be that tall. So why's it matter?

Go two inch lift if you want to be cool.

 

Nice job blocking out the rear plate hahaha

 

could be a decoy.

 

it's a six inch lift with a set of 38'' tires, but like prozon said who gives a flying ****. put a body lift on it, crank your torsion bars and add some gnarly 33'' a/t's, because you probably have a "badass" z71 chevy.

oh, and p.s. your brother is a douchenozzle for having those curb feeler reflector tard things on that truck. have fun

 

Looks like they have something to do w/ the fact that the truck was used as a snowplow.

 

Yeah stupid

 

Dont mind FatDan, he usually doesnt know what he is talking about but thinks he knows everything.

That truck looks like a 6" lift. If its too small for your girlfriend just get 2 steps put on and problem solved.

 

I like that Ford though lol. Those look bigger than 38's anyways. 39/40's? Who knows.

Depending what you use that truck for you could get some electronic steps to fold down for her lol. Won't last long on a mud truck though. :0

 

explain to me how it would work for a reference point for plow clearance? they don't even come out past the tires and most plows are 7'6''. i still say it's tarded either way. and i am almost 100% sure that's a 6'' lift and that those are 38'' baja's. the 39's are way wider than those appear to be.

 

That was my thought was that they were wider than a 38 would be.

 

I just saw a plow carriage and hell, maybe they are like safety clearance lights for oncoming traffic or something. i'm not saying they're cool, or functional, Yes they look tarded, but to each his own, right?? At least they aren't 38 inch BFG A/T's

 

I would rock the hell out of 38" BFG A/T's.

 

I would just put whatever truck had 38" BFG's in low range and smoke the tires till they pop.....

 

agreed, 6" on 38's.

dont mind him...hes probably sobre, hes nicer when hes drunk

and those are commonly known as "rookie sticks" when installed on big rigs for obvious reasons...but where they are on that bumper they are completely useless??

i bet you would...they would suit the rest of your truck kidding bud your f3****ty is lookin pretty dece now days
