That's crazy high. I saw a Ford F350 the other day that was jacked up and was extended and had 3 doors.

Mom in law is safely back at home. From what she was telling my wife I don't see her going back to visit. She say's the other daughters kids are the worst ever and made the visit a living hell. Have to run over to her house today and do the lawn work, I was exhausted Friday and decided to wait till today.

and its not the biggest Ive worked on. I had to stand on the hood to cut welds on the front lip of the roof. I had one truck, used some of the same stands, and the running boards were still taller than the stand.

A couple trucks weve had to take the wheels off and let the truck sit on the suspension lol....

I hate lifted trucks for this reason, but at the same time I can do exhaust work on them without jacking the trucks up....

To each their own. Ill stick with my leveled and lowered trucks.

I not a big fan of either. I like trucks that still do what they were designed to do haul stuff and work. I can see some lift for logger, construction crews that are working off road and need the clearance

justin the short guy with the beard? Every show has an Aaron. He lives close to me, along with KC is pretty badass. My shop used to employ guys like them. Bagged duallys are insane, and can tow just like they came from OE. Lifted trucks is just dangerous to tow with.

You work to hard even when your off. I wish I had done something. Did the kitchen stuff last weekend and cut the grass yesterday. Tfying to stay off the hip and knee. Plus The Urologly Dr wants me to take it easy from now to the surgery. After surgery will be a minimum of 3 weeks before I can pickup anything heavier than a gallon of milk.

I am getting grumpy, it maybe from the freeloaders on the couch. They will be gone tomorrow.
