First time owner
Just got me a 09 f250 king ranch. First time ford owner... I would like to lift it about 4 inches and add some 34in tires.. But honestly I have no idea about lift kits or how it will affect the truck. I'm open to all advice.. Thanks ahead of time. It is a 4x4 diesel.

If there is a 4x4 or off road shop near you then you can start there for some advice and to look at the different kits.
I'd recommend that for the novice.
Things to consider on lifting a truck beside tires and rims are the offset for the rims to accomidate the different sizes.
Then there is new shocks that are longer.
Steering components since you are changing the angle.
Then finally what type of lift. Blocks in the rear and a spacer or something in the front.
Personally all I would do would be a leveling kit of about 2.5" and 1" add a leaf in the rear. That will give you a lot right there.
