LMAOContrary to popular belief, a lift kit won’t raise IQ points.
I have been through this exact same decision. I have had 6 lifted trucks in the past 7 years (GMC and Ford) and I have now ended up with 2 Fords with lifts. My newest baby (and the one closest to your goal) is a 2022 F250 with a BDS 6 inch lift with 38x13.5 tires. This is my 2nd BDS lift and I love it. They have a reputation for being very solid, well-built and a warranty second to none. The only thing I tow is a 21 foot bass boat. I think this lift and tires is the sweet spot of being a pavement princess and still being functional with a great ride as a daily driver. If you want more of a show truck vibe, go with Stryker which I have and love also for different reasons (I drove a Stryker 14 inch lift on 42s for a year as a daily driver before I decided to size down a little). The BDS long arm kit with Fox shocks rides surprisingly well. The problem with 40 inch tires is that you also increase the width to 15.5. This affects steering and ride way more than I thought it would. I feel like I am at the best "functional" happy spot with a 6 inch lift and 38x13.5 tires.I saw that in the fine print. The more I think about this, the more issues I see arising with 8in+ lift. I'm leaning more towards 38's and a 6in lift now. I just want a bolt and go setup.
I'm now leaning towards the Zone Offroad 6" Radius Arm Lift Kit. They are a sister company to BDS and while trying to keep the cost down, this seems like the best option. Zone says max tire is 37" but on the BDS site their 6" kit says it'll fit 38's. Do you or anyone have any experience with this kit? Will the 6" kit fit 38's?I have been through this exact same decision. I have had 6 lifted trucks in the past 7 years (GMC and Ford) and I have now ended up with 2 Fords with lifts.

For cheapest.... be careful.
SUSPENSION SYSTEMS
Leveling kits and up to 8 inch lift heights making room for larger wheels and tires Complete systems are engineered for high performance on and off-road use Heavy duty bracketry backed by the BDS No Fine Print Warranty Correct steering geometry for proper handling in any condition Vehicle tuned...bds-suspension.com
I would advise against this. It's illegal and not very nice.Fücking children.
Nice! Post more pics!For reference, this is my 2022 F250 with the 6 in BDS lift, 38x13.5 tires and 20x10 wheels. No rubbing.

Hmmm I'll have to check. These are Hostile Vulcans in 20x10. They have 2 offset choices: -19 and -44What's the offset on those wheels? I'm getting -12 Methods
