I was considering going the lowering route, but.... I don't want to buy body parts as the roads here suck and i live in a rural area and go down gravel roads often.
So after I finish my 6.0 my next project will be getting a more aggressive stance using the wheels I have if possible (20x8.5).

Is it possible to get 33" with a body-lift or should I just save for a 6" lift and get some 35's

I need to paint my wheels black :(

i believe if you get a leveling kit which are only a couple hundred you can fit 33s.

If your only going to put 33's on it I would just do Keys and spacers. Body lifts aren't the best way to raise a truck imo.

Go with ford keys and 2" spacers and you will fit 33s no problem. Some have even fit 35s
A 3" body lift will clear 35s no problem same with a 6" lift.

Ford keys go anywhere from $50 to $80 depending where you look. They are they same as the advertised leveling kits just cheaper. you can find 1.5"-2" spacers on ebay no problem for around the same price.

Yup, BTW, I have a set of Leveling Keys for sale right now if you are interested. Brand new. Asking $80 + Shipping.

leveling kits are a joke, dont waste your time. If you want to fit some bigger wheels/tires just crank up the stock torsion bars, its gets only about a 1/2 inch less of a lift than a 200 dollar set of keys would... save your money cuz its not worth it, i spent 200 on superlift ones and im pissed.
