Just bought my first, 04-08 body style f150. Really happy with it. Can tell its stiff as a mother, rides good on the highway though. Well built truck. Going to jack it up on 35's within the year hopefully. It's my side plan to avoiding the fastback for a little while. Any other lifted truck fans? I know fets has a two fiddy, and jeff has a nice f150. Speak up

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!

I love 4x4s. Considering selling my Mustang and picking up another Bronco II and a Miata for autocross. My first car was a 95 Bronco XLT. Really nice, put mud tires on it, hacked off the mufflers and ran duals out the back, and had a lot of fun in it. My parents got me a 85 Bronco II POS when I was 13 for me to fix up and drive when I turned 16 but it was too much of a pile. I drove it all over our property and my grandmothers, I loved it. It was like a 4wheeler with heat and storage. If I had never gotten the Mustang, my Bronco would have ended up with a 6" lift and 35" tires. I was slowly collecting money for it. When I traded my Mustang, I got a 02 Ram 4x4 that was really nice but I've never been more displeased with a motor in all my life as I was with the 5.9L it had. Slow as crap and got horrific MPG, pretty sure the Bronco had more power and better mileage with its 351W. I wanted to put a leveling kit on it and stuff some 33" Allterrains on it but decided to get rid of it instead. Here's pics of both.

Ok, here's my old dodge, it was my first vehicle and I wish I had it back. I sold it for more than I bought it for, had 280,000 miles on it with the original engine/tranny. Ran great.

Here's my dad's pickup. I love drivin' this thing, it'll haul anything you put behind it and it's reliable as ever. Only picture I have of it. Now it has bigger tires on it.

I recently bought a 94 Ranger that I'm trying to turn into a prerunner style truck. I just finished dropping in a fresh 4.0 which was a bitch to take out and drop in. Took the tires off and had the disc brakes 1/2" from the ground, engine barely cleared.

+1. I cannot for the life of me remember a company I found when I had my BII. They made some pretty cheap (compared to other) fiberglass flared fenders/besides for rangers and they looked sick.

My '78 shortbox Ford has a 460, 35's and a 4" suspension lift. I love it to death despite it's gremlins.

The latemodel F Series is a really nice riding truck and you will be happy with it. I have been on the lookout for a 78-79 F350/250 with a 460 but its hard to find one that isn't a rust bucket. My wife doesn't want me to buy anything old so I showed her the Raptor and she approves... maybe next year I will have enough saved for one.

Im probably going to sell one of my mustangs to get a jeep or older F150 soon. My friend has a badass 96 F250 powerstroke on 37s. I keep trying to get him to sell it to me, but he wont.

big fan.
F150's lifted with a bigger tire looks great IMO.
you looking at a lift?

Mine just has the leveling kit, I'd like to go with a 6"

My 89 F150
That is the only style of lifted truck I like, put a healthy 351 between the fenders with a nice C4 tranny and 3.27 gears and drive it until the wheels fall off. Very nice truck man I love it.
