Yes, 100% impossible. I can guarantee you have never seen any ttb lifted 6" with the factory drop brackets.

You can get 4" of lift with cut and turned beams using the stock pivot brackets. Its a common upgrade to TTB trucks in the desert scene.

Never seen anything higher unless it is 2wd.

It is not impossible if you cut and turn the TTB arms.

OTHERWISE, yes it is impossible. The highest you can lift the front ends on these trucks without any drop brackets is 2 inches.

EDIT: 2007F150FX4 beat me to it!

I was assuming that he meant with stock beams. Please do take pictures. I'm curious how you will piece this lift together considering there are no 8" ttb coils that are being produced.
