Flexed the truck out a little

Finally had some time and got to see if 40's were going to work out. Took a forklift and lifted up some tires to see how everything flexed. Unfortunately the forklift couldn't go any higher. Looks like I will be ok as long as I don't turn the wheel, LOL. I really want to make sure everything clears before I make a trip to the dunes this spring. Fender flares definitely will have to come off. I also found out my rear reservoirs are going to have to move up, the tires hit them... LOL. I don't have sway bars and my limiting straps are still hooked up. I still had a couple inches before the bumpstops engaged.
Well here are the pictures, sorry they are all from my cell phone.

That's one beautiful highly modified Super Duty! It appears that you are a firefighter and the "RED" paint scheme is very appropriate. I see a tribute to "Ryan" is included in the paint scheme... I take it that Ryan is your brother?

Question: It appears that you replaced the OEM rear leaf springs with the ORU coil springs... how does that truck handle with this setup?

It is a 10-14" One Up Offroad 500 Series Lift kit with shocks. I can crank it down to 10" or go up to 14". Change out a few parts and it will go ALOT higher... LOL

You are correct! The truck is dedicated to my bro who was killed in Iraq. He was a firefighter before he joined the army and became a medic. Least I could do for him. Here is a little deal that CNN did for me a while back. Hopefully I got the link correct!

The One Up Offroad Series lift kit is a full coilover kit. It handles AWESOME. This thing drives amazing. Steers and drives like a sports car... LOL I have no sway bars either! LOL
