Ford F150 Lift Kits | Which Type Is Right For Your Truck? - What's Up With That?

Ford F-150 Lift Kits

Raise your truck and prepare it for off-roading adventures with one of the Ford truck lift kits. At American Trucks, we offer a variety of different lift kits that are all fitted precisely to different Ford F-150 pickup trucks for reliable installation and dependable performance. The kits make it possible to increase your truck's ground clearance, to install oversized tires and to take on more difficult off-roading tasks. Select the right sized lift kit for your needs and give your pickup a signature lifted appearance that will make it stand out while preparing it for more rugged driving tasks.

Get Your F150 Lifted

Between our different Ford truck lift kits, it's possible to raise your truck just 1-inch all the way up to 8-inches or more. The kits work differently and are made of different components in order to make the lift possible. If you're considering adding a lift kit, it's important that you understand why you want to lift your truck and also the tradeoffs that come with raising the height of your pickup. It isn't just the cost of buying and having the kit installed that you have to think about. Raising your pickup can change the way it handles as well and could impact its ability to tow heavyweight. That's why we recommend only raising your truck as high as you need to and avoiding going with a larger lift kit with F-150 shocks and other parts unless you need it. With a properly fitted kit installed on your F-150 pickup, you'll enjoy at least a few of these benefits:

 

  • Clearance for larger tires
  • A taller footprint
  • A level pickup truck
  • More off-roading capabilities

 

In order to lift your truck, our kits rely on aluminum spacers, steel spacers, elongated shocks, modified struts, new steering knuckles, and other products that separate the body and the wheels a bit more. If you're interested in increasing your ride's height, you can use one of our lift kits to accomplish your goal. Each kit is designed differently, and some are more difficult to install than others. When considering each kit, take into consideration that taller lifts require more parts and are more difficult to install as well. Major lifts are expensive and will take longer to accomplish. That's another reason for you to only invest in the lift you need for your goals.

Best Suspension Lift Kits for F150 Trucks

Different Ford truck lift kits have different parts and installation methods. Most of the kits don't require significant modifications to the frame and suspension of your truck, but the larger lifts sometimes do. Always consider the installation process, the cost, and the parts involved in lifting your ride, and use that information to help you choose a kit that you'll be satisfied with. Different lift kits are best for different purposes.

 

If you do decide to lift your pickup, make sure you get a product that's designed for towing and hauling if you plan to continue doing those things. You should also consider adding additional accessories such as F-150 step bars to help you get in and out of your truck. You could also invest in larger tires to help you maximize your ground clearance for the most effective off-roading performance. Your truck will handle rough driving conditions more capably with a good lift kit installed, but you'll have to spend the time in order to find a kit you really trust. Invest in a kit that changes the appearance of your truck while raising it up of the ground just the right amount.

Types of Ford F-150 Lift Kits

You need to know what types of lifts are available before you make a decision, and the two most common types are body lifts and suspension lifts. A body lift relies on spacers and blocks to raise your truck’s body off the suspension. For this reason, you don't need to worry about replacing too many suspension parts – you might not even have to replace any at all. Full suspension lifts, on the other hand, replace existing suspension parts and lift the entire suspension; they're more stable, offer a better ride, and can handle more punishment if you have the budget for them. When shopping for lift kits you also have to choose between air suspension kits and traditional kits like coilovers, leaf springs, or new shocks and struts. Air suspension adds to the cost but offer a smoother and more stable ride. You'll barely feel the bumps because you’re literally riding on air. Many air suspension systems can also adjust one or both sides of the suspension, making them ideal for off-roading on uneven surfaces.

How to Choose a Ford F-150 Lift Kit

Choosing a lift kit is where it gets even more complicated, but don't worry, we’ll make the process a breeze. Starting with wheels and tires, make sure you account for the wheels and tires you want to put on your truck. Your Ford F-150 lift kit should leave enough room for your desired setup; you'll need 1 to 2 inches for up to 33-inch tires, 3 to 5 inches of lift for up to 35-inch tires, and 6 to 8 inches of lift for anything bigger. Once you know what height you need, you can start to choose a lift that fits your specific build. If all you plan on doing is a lot of hauling, an air suspension will often work the best because it can manage the weight better and keep your truck level to reduce sway. Plan on off-roading on rocky terrain with uneven surfaces, getting more durable shocks and springs from affordable yet high-quality brands like Rough Country will hold up better compared to vulnerable air compressors. Whether you need a shiny new air compression system or a massive eight-inch lift, our sales techs are ready to help you get the best parts for your build. Plus, you don't have to stop there because plenty of F-150 wheels, tires, and wheel & tire packages are also available to complete your new lift kit.
