Got another truck. Advice please!!
Picked up an 06 f350 Amarillo 4x4 dually. Little tall for me. Anyway I am thinking of lowering it or just sell it. It has brand new wheels and tires. 37.5/12.5/17. Only has 69k miles. Also has a 6 or 8" lift. Almost perfect condition. What do you think.

I purposely looked for a truck with no lift, can't seem to justify a truck that you can't use the bed because you can't lift anything into it at chest height.

Get some amp steps or remove the lift, sell it and get a leveling kit or something to your liking.

I don't really care for the amp steps. I had three of them and they all froze up in the winter. Selling the lift is a good option.

Not yet, then again, I haven't been looking too hard. You're the one with the golden glove at finding killer deals on sweet 6.0s!

Sell the lift and keep the truck.
BUT get the correct rear ID stickers on the bed.
