Debating on getting either a 4" or 6" inch lift on my F150 Supercrew 4WD. Anyone got pics of their trucks and what size tires they have on them?

What kind of wheels are you looking to put on it?

24" DUBs.

Unless you are in HS, you will regret it.

I'm not here to hate on lifts like the rest of these assholes will, but just realize that your truck will never ride as good as before.

Then I recommend a Rancho 4" lift. They are made much better than the ones 10 years ago and offer one of the best rides for a very good price. Best bang for your buck, hands down. Will allow for 35s with no issues. Matter a fact, Beardface has larger than 35s on his with 4" lift.
Procomp has a stage 1 and stage 2 lift. Both are very good. Stage 2 comes with coil over shocks for the front too.
BDS is very well built and offers the best warranty.
I still recommend Rancho over any other brand made but the other two are popular too. I do not recommend Fabtech, Skyjacker, or a body lift.
EDIT: just realized that you asked for pictures and not suggestions. Head on over to F150forum for pics.

The most you should do is maybe a leveling kit. Anything more than a leveling kit you will probably regret.

With lifts go big if not you will be wanting that extra 2"
My uncle has a 6" fabtech on a F150 crew cab and is running Mickey Thompson MTZ 35x13.50R18 on Moto metal wheels. Looks great IMO. Posted on 10/23/13 at 3:24 pm to BayouNation
You don't want a lift on your daily driver......trust me......been there.

Get the 6" lift b/c if you get the 4" you will wish you went larger.
My Little brother has a 6" lift on his 2011 King Ranch. Very nice. Sorry no pics

Agreed. Level it and stuff some tires.
It will look great, be more practical, and his kill ratio will still be good.
In the end, you both profit.

I have one on my daily driver, as well as my two brothers(2009 f-150 and 2011 f-150), uncle and his two sons(2007 3500 Ram dually, 2010 Ram 2500, 2010 Tacoma.) We are big truck loving family as you can tell.
No complaints. But we all know what to the trade off is by doing these lifts to our daily drivers. Shitty gas mileage except for the diesel trucks. A little bit more up keep. Rotating tires frequently. Wear on stock components. But are fun to drive and its a hobby for us.

I did a 3" on my 05 Silverado, jumped up to 33's a couple years ago.
Don't get me wrong I love the way it looks, but like others have said, it does not ride the same.
Not bad mind you, just not as smooth as it was before.

when you go this big, you get into other more expensive issues. I'd stay 2-4

You do realize that once it is lifted, it all goes downhill from there, right? Being stuck for days, broken parts, expensive tires, etc are all examples of what fun comes with a lifted truck. Have you ever seen the movie "Money Pit"?
On a smaller truck, 33s are perfect. On a bigger truck, 35s are perfect. I have heard of people just leveling an F150 and putting 35" tires on them. Go for as small a lift you need to fit 35s and it'll be golden.
I don't have an F150 so I can't comment on brands
