That Dodge in the last pic is a monster. Do you have any of the specs on it? Nice job on the lift install. I had a Dodge once after being inspired by a friend of mine who built this one:

well theres alot of trucks near me like that dodge (i live in NJ i have seen very few other lifted trucks besides mine around here) but that dodge was built by coldstat refrigerator company the employees buy those trucks build them with rockwells tractor tires coil overs all custom suspension. One of my friends works there and helps build the trucks they also have a 88 f250 460 on 82" tractor tires named clifford they go to ny and florida for mud bogs next time i pass by and the trucks are outside ill take more pics of them for you guys.

Super nice reg cab sir! I just read your specs a 5.4 with 3.73 gears and 37's! How the motor pulling them tires around? Do you plan on re-gearing?

The lift is a pro como 6.5" but for some reason it came out 8 1/2" in the front and 8" in the rear. The 3:73 and 37s actually were no were near as bad as I thought it was gonna be. The only thing that really sucked was the mpg haha but I expected that. I am re gearing soon to either 4:88 or maybe 5:13 for a little extra pep!

i guess the reg cab is helping having so much less weight? I never had anything bigger than 33's but ive read tons of threads where 3.73 are horrible just for driving around town with 35's???
