a highboy is called that due to the frame design. the F250 4 X 4 frame was a long narrow ladder frame that necessitated a high stance for all the components to clear each other and work the way they were designed to (tires don't hit the frame on turns etc...). hawkrod

Highboy is just a term, and I think how much lift it took to get your butt up on the seat had something to do with it, too.
