Will lift and tires from 2008 F-150 fit?

[Tinkerbell6]

So I have an 08 F150 that I put a 6” lift kit and 35’s on. Does anyone know if the lift and tires will fit on a 2021 F150? Thinking about taking my current truck in but I know the dealer will never give me enough to cover what I’ve paid for the lift, rims and tires.

All of the 6" lifts that I have seen are not removable once installed, because of the tabs that have to be cut off the frame to install the lift.

And I am pretty sure the lifts are not compatible from that generation regardless.

The wheels will fit, and with a 2.25" leveling kit will easily clear 35's.

One of the reasons why I try to keep things stock on every one of my vehicles. Hopefully you have been driving it around long enough to get your money's worth from the lift kit and installation cost. Also, removing the lift kit will cost as much as or more than the install depending on what was done and how long ago it was, if it's even practical to do it at all.

If you want to keep your current wheels, make sure that the offset will work with the level that you want for the 2021 and keep your eyes out for a cheap used set of tires wheels that make more sense with the lift, unless you already have the stockers laying around. If you still have the stock suspension, you can sell that too. Also, the older 6 bolt wheels fit on the 2021 unless they're 17"s and the truck has the Max Tow package, the trucks with the upgraded rear axle also have larger rear discs which won't clear the 17" rims.

The used truck market is as good as it's been in as long as I can remember, you might be surprised at what the dealership offers for a trade and you can always try selling private party, since it's a seller's market. Just be sure to do your research and watch out for scammers.

Good luck!
