1986 Ford F-150Lift Kits

• Leveling Lift Kits: Raise the front end to match the rear—great for a clean, level stance.

• Suspension Lift Kits: Lift the entire vehicle with upgraded shocks, springs, and brackets—ideal for off-roading and bigger tires.

• Body Lift Kits: Raises your truck or Jeep’s body higher off the frame by using spacers between the body and chassis. This creates extra clearance for larger tires without altering the suspension or ride quality.

Start with your end goal: daily driving, off-roading, or a mix.

• 1–2 inches: Best for subtle clearance and leveling.

• 2–4 inches: Adds ground clearance and allows for larger tires—still manageable for daily use.

• 4–6 inches or more: Maximum lift but requires extra upgrades like extended driveshafts and brake lines.

• Yes—lifting a vehicle raises its center of gravity, which can affect cornering and stability.

• Quality shocks and suspension components (like those in Rough Country kits) help maintain comfort and control.

• Moderate lifts (2–3 inches) generally keep a good ride balance.

• Roughly $300–$600 for leveling kits and $1,000–$2,500+ for larger suspension lift kits.

• You may also need extended brake lines, new shocks, steering stabilizers, and larger wheels & tires.

• Factor in labor costs if you’re not installing it yourself.
