Rough photoshop edit of lift

[teameyecatcher]

I did a quick, rough photoshop of my 2wd with a 6" lift (also some painted handles and tint ). Do you think that this would be its approximate size with the lift on it? I'm just trying to get a good idea of what she'd look like, and if I'd even want to go that tall.

looks close but definetly would need bigger tires

Looks good. Nice job with the photoshop. That is close, I am going to go with alittle bit taller though. You will have to see what size tire you can fit underneath. I want to say that you can put 37's under it maybe alittle taller. You will just have to check with offroad shop.

WOW the massaged pic looks very good level and sort of JUMPS out at you

Well I'm wondering what size tire I could actually put under there... Fabtech says that the 6" lift on a 2wd would fit 315/70-17 (about 34.5") with minor trimming. I know a 6" on a 4wd would easily fit those 35's, but Ford specs show that mine is about 2-3.5 inches shorter than a 4x4...who knows

One question I ask is... why lift a 2 wheel drive? I could understand a leveling kit, but a 6" lift? I know I know, because you can. But is there another reason to lift it?

Not for off-roading. I've had slightly lifted 4x4s in the past, and I just can't seem to get over how low this model is. Its just for personal satisfaction, because I think a truck should be taller. I may not even do it-just a thought

Just did mine last week. It is a 4wd, but i have plenty of room with 37's.

Didn't have mcuh choice with the 2wd. My old car had been broken into twice this summer, got rid of it and was driving a borrowed car in the meantime. This one came available and was the right price, plus it was from a close relative so I knew the history. I'd rather spend the extra 100 or 200 bucks for a 6" lift if I know who and how the truck was used. Plus, I'm not going for intense height here, the 6" will bring it up only a little taller than an FX4. 2wd was not my first option, but it was the right option. I dont go off-road, the only time I'd ever use 4 was if I was stuck on a boat launch somewhere (which I dont see happening from my experience). I just like trucks a little taller.
