Lift kits???
I have a 2010 F150 Supercrew with the 6 1/2' bed. What is a good lift kit to get that wont hurt my pocket book too bad? Between 3 and 6 inch lift is what I want. Any ideas or suggestions?

Im going to eventually lift my truck. I will never put a bodylift on a vehicle though. I think its such a terrible idea, and it doesnt give you any more ground clearance or capability on its own.
I hear the BDS 6 inch kit for our trucks is pretty good though. I've seen it on a couple trucks and it looks great with 35s or 37s.

I'd do a leveling kit over a body lift. A body lift is gonna run you about a thousand installed, and you might have to do a radiator drop, etc. They're not easy on the older F150s.
A leveling kit is gonna be a much better choice, and if you ever wreck the truck, the frame won't kink as easily. My buddy does body work at his shop and just about every truck with a BL that comes in needs a new frame. The bolts don't sheer in most case, but they bend and tweak the frame.

You're gonna need a lift kit. I'd recommend the BDS kit. They're pretty high quality from what I can tell.
Their 6" kit will let you fit 37s under there.
