Tossin that one around in the brain a little. Want to get a brush guard,bed cover and some sort of ram air hood... definitely NOT ruling it out. Have to research pros n cons of body lift vs suspension lift

BL=cheap...decent labor involves...changes center of gravity...does zero for you but add ground clearance. Verdict...Body Lifts are for mall crawlers.

Suspension lift=costs more, about the same amount of labor, adds articulation and clearance. Verdict...Suspension lifts are for folks that want to enahnce their ride.

Well, at least I might be able to save a little on labor. I worked at a salvage yard/garage where my cousin is head mechanic (and dam good at it). Both he and management are Ford truck FANATICS smilieFordlogo

Finally getting some more of us on here! The Gen 8-9 guys are whipping our arses! LOL Nice truck!

On Edit: I have a 3" BL and torsion crank and can run 37's. I run 35's to clear the rocks and have had no trouble with the lift. I would like to get a Sus lift but at the time it was all I could afford. Rode nice before the torsion crank, now it rides like a truck! LOL

HAHA...I know. You're in that weird category of guys that use their 2wd trucks, but since they are 2wd there's no real reason to a suspension lift on it so they put a BL on.

Then you got my other trouble maker Lil dually. Seems like i spend more time wrenching on her than driving her anymore. So annoying.
