Is it just me or does anyone else think the lifted trucks with short fat tires look goofy?

These two look alright, but the others don't look right.

I don't know what to say about the newer super duty trucks. They look retarded.

I prefer Slim, bigger tyres, but the ones picked by TexasGuy and the green one from the first pic look nice.

still a working progress.. i actually just got it last wednesday and lifted it, fixed up the interior a little and installed a few little things for the trans... i think a built trans might be in the future. the reason i got it the trans kept overheating and spitting fluid out the front torque converter seal i believe. but anyways yup thats my truck

It is a really nice truck man...See, its not THAT hard to say nice stuff....Personally I think the 97-96 F-150's in black, standard cab, and long beds are what a TRUCK should look like....

Sure, the post 97 eras look great, but they are more luxury oriented...

Just my .02...

I think these look ok... the rest seem out of "balance" too small a tire or too much lift.
