There we go.

I thought for sure that I mentioned at least twice that I was looking at a 3" drop. Is that slamming the Truck? somehow I don't think so. Yes I would like to have some 18's...didn't even once mention anything bigger, much less 20 somethings.
And just to set things straight, I'm 32 and restored quite a few cars. Granted no trucks yet but I gotta start somewhere.
You're right on one thing though, If I was 17 and wanted to be the next fast and furious wannabe then I would be planting my *** in a civic and think it's fast cause it's slammed and loud. But I'm not. I'm not looking to "race" the truck. Just something nice to cruise in and if I feel like it, take my 400lbs Bike to the track. Pretty sure a 3/4 truck can handle that amount of weight even with a 3" drop.
I know it's a 250 and this whole thing would be a lot easier with a 100 series..but this thing is great shape and has everything it came with. Not to mention the price is right.

I don't mean to fall out of line on the board since I'm new and all but when I get the 3rd degree over something that I didn't even bring up...I am gonna set things straight. Would I have gotten better feedback if I would have asked for help on a 6" lift and Swampers, and where I can get the best deal on a gunrack for the backwindow?

That's my .02

Sorry we ruffled your feathers. I was agreeing with another persons viewpoint. I guess I wasn't really thinking about what you had said when I did it. I think a 3 inch drop on an F-250 would actually look great. I am kind of oldschool on rubber though. Just my preference but I don't much care for the big rims on older iron. I realize that there are much taller rims than 18s and I could live with 18s if the tire had some sidewall to it, like 60s or 65s. I always wanted a set of the very rare 8 x 19.5 wheels on a 4x4. I have only ever sen a couple sets of those.
And for the record, I think a subtly lowered 2wd is a nice street ride and a jacked up 4x4 with howling 36s is kind of a silly thing to drive around town in.

 

You're not falling out of line. Were you looking for help or opinions? Sorry guys, if he wants to drop the truck that's his business. I've seen a couple of real nice FTE rides that are dropped.

It will be more of a challenge with an F250, but you may be able to keep some of it's truck ability if done right.

As far as the taller wheels. I like the look. And there are some tires available for SUVs that can still handle a load (2500-3000lbs apiece). That's more than enough.

One of the guys used to come around FTE had an air-bag setup, that really dropped, but he said it rode like a Caddy at full height.

Check the gallery, his username was like bagged70 or something.
