Saw a black 6.4L model F-450 with those big semi wheels and duel stacks yesterday.
It was interesting.

Now back to a FUN thread with FUN economy boosting ideas.

I wouldn't be worried about it if ford would warranty it, I think that's the problem with the hpfp.

Keep the HPFP chit out of my thread. There are several for you to post your thoughts. Thanks for making every thread depressing.

Don't get me wrong, it looked great but too much for me!
I was going to take a picture of it for you if he had stopped in the parking lot but he didn't.
Lots of money put into that truck.

Sgt93, I took these photos of a truck that use to park near my work several years ago. I know the truck is a little dated now, but thought you would love the stance of it. I always dreamed a running a setup like this!

Big Sarge, thanks for posting. A little tall for me but nice none the less.

dschuffert, I have well over 20k in mine so I'm sure he has a few bucks in this setup.

That's a bit much IMHO. Hope he knows not to run anywhere close to the 110 PSI max on those things...

Must ride like a brick as well. Looks cool, but not real functional.

I see the King Shocks under there so I bet the ride is a lot better than you imagine.

I saw that too, but those tires weigh ~130 lbs each, and the rims are about 50 lbs. Meaning the unsprung weight is approaching 200 lbs per tire. You can have the best struts in the world and still not negate the negative effects of a huge increase in unsprung weight.
