    One way to get good lift is to install an add-a-lift to your truck. There’s an article on ezine explaining how to install one: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Install-an-Add-A-Leaf-on-a-2004-2008-Ford-F150&id=2781134

    Not only to you get some lift out of it, you also get increased towing capacity. It’s well worth the time and money.
