Varoom is offering crazy money for vehicles. You should see how much they’ll offer you.

Agree. I like lifted trucks, but I'd skip right past a used one for sale. Now if I find a used vehicle / motorcycle / etc that looks like it's factory original and excellent condition, I am ALL IN. My experience has been a lot of buyers are the same way. Also, it's unlikely anyone will give you more money with the lift and wheels on it. When I sell a motorcycle, I will put it back to bone stock, then sell any aftermarket parts separately.

IMO, you'd come out way better if you put the truck back to bone stock (it would sell faster and prob at a higher price) and then sell the lift & wheels separately.

Not really, but there are dealers that try that BS. It is actually the other way around…….they need to prove that aftermarket item caused the failure.
But then also, they will not warranty aftermarket parts; which there is no reason they should.

First check Carvana and Vroom for an estimate. You may be surprised with what they offer.

I’m just not sure about recouping the investment in the lift and wheels/tires.

Aside from the online sources, I’d suggest visiting the surrounding dealers for an estimate (not just Ford) and see what they’ll offer. Crazy times!

Carvana wanted to know the loan payoff and then offered $300 more. Lowest of the lowballs by far. Not even remotely close to what I got in the end.

I'll echo a couple of the comments above:

1. This hot vehicle market won't last forever.
2. I also wouldn't consider a lifted truck at all. Too many people take short cuts and I just don't trust people.

Just curious, what is it that you’re not in love with about it? Most guys would give there right nut to have a truck like that!

Regardless what we all think, if the OP isn't happy with his truck, he should sell/trade it and move on.

Anyone who knows lifts, knows BDS is top of the line. Much better than the stock garbage(in comparison) that was taken off. It will sell quick and maybe for more than you have into it.
Let us know.

Nothing complicated about these lift kits. Any good mechanic should be able to inspect and correct any issues it may or may not have.

Exactly, they are pretty much parts that just bolt on. Radius arms, shocks, springs, Pitman arm, track bar etc. The only tricky thing is getting the alignment right for some people.
