Lift it! With the carli kit it will ride great! The only part that sucks is having to buy new tires, other than that run it! When you get tired buy a little daily commuter and best of both worlds.

Anyone regret getting the wife bolt on's? F NO!!!!
Not true, most husbands pay and later wish they didn’t give their wives new confidence and attention, the new boyfriend appreciates em though 😂

Op:
At 28 why the hell not go lifted. Your post in a few months will be I have new girlfriends, should I buy a center console, deck, or trifecta, so they all can go to river w me.
With a carli e venture it will help with resale over stock truck. Excellent lift. alignments aren’t an issue on a straight axle front end. Tires last 50k miles. With no chick or kids what the hell else are you gonna spend your money on. Might as well feel good while driving, until you get home and wonder when pornhub 2 is coming out because you seen everything 1 has to offer 😁

Spend your hard-earned money to make it taller, needing longer shocks, brake lines, bumps, etc...... And then have to buy larger wheels/tires to make it look halfway decent...... With no performance gains whatsoever is a complete waste of time, energy and money.

Now, a Carli Suspension System is not a lift kit. It's a suspension system designed to improve the on and off-road performance capabilities of your truck. There is a purpose behind it. The same with any other TRUE performance aftermarket suspension system such as Camburg, Dirt King, Mazzula, etc. Going this route obviously costs a lot more money, but in my opinion, it's the only way you should be spending money to change the suspension system on a truck.

If it's a daily driver, keep it stock and build an off-road truck that you actually take "Offroad." If you only want one truck, then build your daily driver with an engineered suspension system that will benefit you in a number of ways, not just making it taller for no reason. 👍

Since you're not towing anything heavy why not an F150?, they can tow about 11k LBS.. But I do like the idea of buying that barely used F250 that some guy dumped a lot of money into, that Carli E Venture kit with wheels and tires and labor was easily north of 10k. You'll probably get bored of a stock truck and want to lift it anyways. You're young, buy the barely used lifted truck and enjoy it. I don't think you'll regret it. Keep us posted.. Just my .02

Shameless flex of my lil tremor. Just a 2.5" level in the front, it drives down the road so nice.

Please don't tow 11K with a F150, pay no attention to the factory tow limits as the engineers are encouraged to find creative way of increasing tow capacity all the while knowing full well shit will fail. Personally it would be 8K max with a F150.

This is why I’m buying used. Figure if you can find something lightly used with bolt ons for the same price as a stock model why not go for it. Maybe I should take this advice when it comes to dating as well…

'23 F350 with a 6" Wicked lift and 37s. I love it. The only 2 drawbacks I discovered are I can't go through a car wash so I wash myself, and I had to get stretchy jeans so I can lift my leg high enough to get in! Tows my 7k lb boat just fine too.

Way to gay up the thread with stretchy jeans. Might as well get some mandex pants.

Life is short. Lift it.

No woman ever said “oooh. I love your stock height truck. Let me show you my tiddies”

Then buy a second truck and keep it stock. Best of both worlds.

My daily has been and is an F350 dually leveled with 37’s. Also purchased a 2023 Denali, which I kept stock due to it’s fuel economy and ride. Plus it looks great. It has been our river limo.

I've always had big lifted trucks, but my current one I just did Bilstein 3" coilovers in the front a 1" block in the back and kept it leveled. Mainly cause I didn't wanna kill the awesome mileage the baby DMax gets

12 inch Cognito lift on 38's. Loved this truck. But it did get old climbing into it.
