2021 Ford F150 with 4 inch BDS Lift and Fuel Militia Wheels

@@terrygermano4555 Sure I was planning to youtube some mods and such. I haven’t done much beside creature comforts atm though but planning a level and tires while I save up for the full lift/wheels. I really like your setup and hope to replicate the stance. I may need those specs 😍

[@terrygermano4555]

@@phillipf5876 it's the BDS 4inch lift with the 3inch rear blocks and Rear Fox Shocks. The rear blocks are an option you have to choose (2inch or 3 inch) and rear Fox Shocks are a$200 upgrade option when you buy the kit. The BDS 4 inch could over kit is real nice but it's double the price at over $4k. My kit was around $2200 plus labor install. Wheels weren't cheap either. About $3800 for this wheel/Tire setup. I believe for just the 4 inch BDS Kit with labor and the wheels/tires, I paid around $7500. And with the 3 inch blocks in the rear it looks level to the naked eye but the rear sits around 1 and 3/4 inches higher than the front. I'll have to measure again to make sure if I'm right. But I'm very happy with the way the stance of this truck came out!

[@NubsShoots]

hey man heavily considering a 4 inch lift vs just a level. i got to the city a lot (atlanta) would a 4 inch lift be too big for parking garages etc?

[@NubsShoots]

also was any trimming involved with your set up?

[@terrygermano4555]

@@NubsShoots I believe with the 4 inch lift you can still do parking garages. I haven't tried yet because I have no need at the moment to use a parking garage but I got through the touchless car wash and I'm under the height limit on that. On my wheel and tire setup I had trimming but it was minimal. My crash bars are intact. The trimming will depend what size wheel and tire you go with and the major factor will be the offset of the wheel you choose. The more negative offset the more the wheel will poke out and affect turn radius which will affect how much trimming you will need to fit everything.

How's the ride quality compared to stock with the 4"? Looks Hella good 👍

[@mzmudy]

Looks great! I have a 2020 FX4 that is leveled on 33s; 20x9 with +1 offset. I have been considering a 4" Lift. The 6" looks great and a high fun factor, but similar to you I don't guess I really need that to be honest. I am interested in the Lift to feel higher up in heavy traffic. You state that it "definitely sits higher" so I am wondering does it feel like it rides much higher than a level? Does it look taller than before? Not sure if you ever had it leveled before. I have the 1.5" ReadyLift Level since that is what is recommended for FX4. Truck looks great!

[@terrygermano4555]

It definitely rides higher. 4 inches plus the bigger tires I'm probably at 6 inches over stock. BDS is the way to go. It's a 4inch spacer up front so it's gonna be a way bigger difference than your 1.5 spacer. 3 inch blocks in the rear plus rear Fox shocks. I love it, rides great! I see over traffic easily and feel like king of the road lol. I want to get the BDS Control arms next.

Minimal trimming. Crash bars still in tact. Slight rub on hard turn. Tires are 295/60/20 which comes out to about a 34x 11.50 inch tire. To fit a 35 inch tire it would have been a lot of cutting. These tires are good for me. Rides great!!!

[@brianpaulmanuel9181]

Was there any trimming you had to do?

[@terrygermano4555]

Minor Trimming. It depends what wheel/Tire size you go with also. I think the most important thing is gonna be your wheel offset, how far is that wheel going to poke out. The more negative offset the more the wheel will poke out and make your turning radius tighter and more cutting and Trimming will be needed. These are -18 20x10 wheels. They give about a 3 inch poke over the Fenders.

[@brianpaulmanuel9181]

It looks like you didn’t have to cut your crash bars in your video. Just some plastic fender trimming you did to it?

Yes they have to cut a piece of the frame out to drop the diff. So once you cut it there's no going back.
