Well, I guess that will do it...
With a heavy heart, I am moving on to another truck. Even though my F250 left me on the side of the road twice, I still think it's a great truck. However, it does beat me up on long drives and pulling the toy hauler up steep grades over uneven pavement is certainly an adventure. Rather than spend a few grand to ditch the lift (installed by the previous owner) and buy smaller tires in order to possibly get a decent ride back, I decided that money could be better spent on something else that is extremely comfortable with a really nice interior. I will be removing my goodies over the next few days and then we will start looking for a new home for the F250. If nothing else, it was a helluva way to jump into the world of diesel trucks and I'm sure it will make somebody happy after all the reliability mods that were done. I hope it serves them well. In the meantime, below is what I'll be driving for (hopefully) many years to come.

Thanks, guys. If my history is any indication, then I will definitely stop by on occasion when I have something stupid to say. 
Central CA. I haven't decided on a firm price just yet, but my initial thought is that somewhere in the neighborhood of $20k is reasonable for a low mileage (88k) loaded Lariat with all of the bulletproofing mods. I'm certainly open to opinions if anybody thinks I should ask more or less than that.

It was definitely smoother with some weight in it, but the lift and big tires are too much to make it a stress-free ride when the road gets nasty while pulling a big trailer. I decided I should let it go to somebody who wants a lifted truck with big tires and maybe the need to tow on occasion. When I drive the truck anymore, I'm usually towing a big trailer, and the family is certainly more comfortable in a quieter and smoother truck. That makes my life a lot easier since they fall asleep and let me drive in peace.

Oh ya I hear ya
Last time my wife and her mother took my truck for a Long Voyage 400miles she Calls Half way there said Moms sick would it help to let Air pressure out the Tires
I told he probably not it needs weight that trucks Made to Haul and Work
Its my last lifted truck too
Independent front suspension is LOTS Smoother IMO
