post your lifted trucks
 

looking to get a lifted truck for my daily..lets see some

get a diesel, if anything

my fiend just got a new f 450 dually.. jeasus that thing is a monster.

hope you dont care about gas mileage. ive had a few and diesels arent that much better. The last one i used was not mine, but i use it on a daily basis and it got 13.5mpg and that was an 02 F350 Crew cab with a 9 inch lift and 38inch tires.

here it is

haha ironic, i was just talking to a co-worker today about how i wanted to lift my F150 ;)

hey seld that dont look like a 9in lift u sure it wasnt a 6?

My 67 K10 Chevy

If you have the $$$$, go for it. Be prepared to spend it on fuel and tires.

If you are just using a truck to drive to work and the occasional Home Depot run, buy a Toyota Tundra. A good solid, effecient truck with lots of aftermarket support.

If you need something heavier, for pulling a trailer, yet remain effiecient around town....get a Dodge with a Cummins and New Venture trans.

Chebbie's are pricey, and provide the sissy-boy IFS ride. They also provide the Duramax/Alison combo. Untouchable powertrain.

Ford=Junk, regardless of make or model. If you buy one, you are just as retarded as I was when I bought mine.

How much for the truck??

i kno what im getting my self into wit fuel but also u dont kinda waste that much on tires... just my opinion tho also i have a ford dually and there not junk trust me becuase my dad used to have a chevy dually before the ford and the ford towed alot smother and im lookin to either get a new f150 or a new ram 1500..

Cool. If I was looking for a 1/2 ton, I'd roll with a Tundra. It is the best 1/2 ton out there. Hardly any emissions compared to everything else. The I-Force is a strong motor. Massive brakes. Great truck.

don't get a dodge unless its a diesel, because otherwise they're garbage

its a Donahoe racing 9 inch lift. Im told their not a true 9 inch lift as you can see.
as for the person that says Fords are junk, this is not true. the 7.3s are great and the 6.0s are hit or miss. I work in a shop that works on diesels all day long. they all have there fair share of problems. diesels are also a lot more money to up keep. they normal have alittle better gas mileage, but the fuel cost more too. if you're looking at diesels i would be looking for an clean older 7.3 powerstroke or a Dodge. the Dodge gets the best MPG hands down and it being a straight 6, it has less moving parts. less moving parts, means less stuff can break. you know what i mean.

Whoops, I misread the thread. I thought we were just posting pics of lifted trucks :) Mines not for sale, at least not right now, I need to use it through the winter.

less moving parts, but the parts are way beefier

only if they had a ford f250 with a allison transmission and a cummins engine

if i recall they build a kit to do that.

that f250 is baddddd lol

Ford trucks garbage??? I agree 100% with sled, ford 7.3 is the best diesel engine ford ever made as for dodges, cummins is also a great engine the rest of the truck is sh%t everything interior wise breaks and there great trannys they have will leave you stranded on the side of the road with a blown trans as soon as you try to tow anything. Chevys have a great powerplant but i dont care for the looks at all. So i dont see how ford diesels are garbage? also what kind of truck do you have??

I had a '03 Super Duty. It leaked coolant the first day I had it, and it was all downhill from that point on. Piece of sheetz.

My truck will most likely have its comback tour in '08 for it's 40th Birthday. Detroit Diesel with a 5 speed New Venture trans. 14 bolt full floater rear/Dana 70 front axles, NP205 divorce mount transfer case. Jeep trucks only! No Big Three tonka toys for me. 38" tires with no lift.

2 door Pioneer! Nice Jeep.

Thanks! ...I really need to get off my ass and finish it up. Need to reseal the windshield, fix the front axle disconnect (or swap it), swap the steering column, and fix the ac/heater fan. Ugh. :)

nice pics... might get an 87 suburban and lift it for a daily plus i'm getting it from a gm employee for free

My '95 is the same way...needs a heater core, desperately needed alignment, way overdue on fluid changes....Every time I get motivated to maintain it, I usually end up taking it out to some trails to beat the crap out of it instead.

poolmike has probbably the coolest truck on tst

sounds like you just had some bad luck with yours....i've had nothing but great things to say about my ford. i've got a '93 F150 with the straight 6 and i've NEVER had a problem with it...not once. thing has been spectacular and has like 190k miles on the original engine. thing keeps on tickin'! :supz:

Ahh, a totally different truck. The 300cid 6cyl. has been around since the early 60s. Great engine. You won't be able to kill that one.

can this be the lifted cars thred?

that truck will rust out before it stops running.

that's what you get for buying a ford!

couldn't have put it better myself. The only thing bad about Fords is the new 6.0l diesel. I mean they are alright now, but when they first came out they were trash. My dad got an 03 and had 4 engines replaced and he only has 70,xxx on the clock. Plus, you Ive seen people putting turbo timers on their 6's. You can tow for hours, go mudding, completely beat the shlt out of a 7.3l and then just shut it off and call it a day, and it takes it like a champ.

As for dodges, I hate dodge trucks they're garbage. However, the cummins inine 6 is a freak engine. My friends got a inline 6 w/ bigger turbo, injectors and intercooler, adn he runs like low 13's ina 7500lb truck. I mean stock 6's basically stay neck and neck with my GSR. But, if I had the choice Id take take a Ford.

Bill, I sold that POS Summer '06 and I'm still feeling the effects of the anal raping I took on it. I'm gonna stop bitching about it now. OK maybe not. It's making me sick all over again. F'n Stupid Duty. Damn truck couldn't haul a bag of groceries without shearing a ball joint or blowing a head gasket. It was a good looking truck, I always kept it spotless, so it would look good while in tow or at the dealer service facility.

haha. thats ashame you got a lemon. ill agree with you though '03 was not the year to buy ford trucks.

03s were hit or miss with the 6.0 it was a completely new engine so those kind of problems are likely to happen when something new comes out just like every other car around. I have a 96 f250 with a 7.3 and i love it never gives me any problems

Mine was a gasser. 5.4 Liter. I wanted to set the truck on fire and push it off a high cliff. The Power Joke diesels are actually International Harvester engines, that is the only reason that they actually run.

Real trucks here. I will own a Unimog some day.
