I still think you're better off not doing it tho. But this was one I found one time and here is a link to a very old thread from where the pic came from. Turns out this guy converted his truck to a dually, and it's lifted.

Want to put a small lift on my dually - Diesel Forum - TheDieselStop.com

Good looking truck, obviously he swapped in a rear end cause he did it "the right way"

All I know is one needs to REALLY love their truck and plan to keep it for a LOOOOONG time to spend that kind of money to do these things.

Or one has very deep pockets and need to spend all the money because the bank wont let you put any more in.

Or one just doesn't care about money and lives life by always saying "Can't take it with you....."

But do you plan on keeping it another 11 years? Or do you really think you'll buy again in a couple. If you are really thinking you may want to upgrade in the next few years I'd plop that money down on a new one as you seem to keep trucks a while. But if you don't want a payment then that can be a factor too.

I think your truck looks cool the way it is.

Nope. But stuff isn't free and I'm not one of those lucky people who make money hand over fist.

Me either,

This is the best truck Ive ever had and it does everything I need. Its still a pup at 79k, and with the way my business is being so up and down its hard for me to take my extra money and apply it toward a payment every month on a truck I don't drive very often.

since 2008 Ive onmy put about 25k on the truck.

SARGE, i take it you own a shop of sorts working on autos? Its always up and down in that business, might get only a few times a yr where everything falls in place and you can breath a little, i owned truck shops [big trucks] almost 30 yrs with few techs at each one till my heart said enough. Far as the dually deal think im going to just get a f450/550 and move on, ive shopped mnths and can get a nice truck less than most f350s nowdays staying with the 6.0.
