usmc, a user here by the name of DaveWilliams has 4" out of the bed stacks on his crew cab dually. The only bad thing is that they are not 5 or 6", but the install does look good.

I've got to tell you, I checked out your rig, it is the same color as my F150 which is my favorite, and is absolutly beautiful! I've got the DZL fever!
Happy Holidays!

Thanks AZ, I really appreciate it. Too bad though because this week i am taking the lift off because according to MD law, its 9" over legal the way it is with 37's. So i have to figure something out with my brand new tires and wheels....

I just do not want them in my bed.

Hey Andrew, Dave here. Here is the link to my outside the bed setup. Kris is right, they need to be bigger. I am already on that. I got relatively cheap these 4's but will be going to probably 5's or 6's depending on how much they obstruct the side mirror view. I will experiment with straight stock in different sizes just to see then make the plunge and get the bigger "shiny" stuff. Take care, Dave

Yep, according to MD law, an F-350 tagged under 10,000 pounds GWV is "technically" one inch over MD legal law, 28" frame height. Duallies and 250's squeeze by with a half inch to spare.

We've got some promo trucks, radio stations etc, that are so high you can drive a mini cooper under them. Some seem so unstable, they can't stay between the lines on the road, headlights are the other issue, but they still run em in the sky. Now I'm curious, I'm going to check out what the laws are out here.

I've got the DZL bug, Going to check out a 2000 F350 Single Rears Crew Cab 4x4 7.3 with 66k miles. He's not asking alot and its only an XL, so we'll see what kind of shape it's in. He says there is "some" body damage in the bed, but it's not bad. I told him I'm driving 50 miles to come see it, it better be what he says. Taking it to my Ford guy to have him check everything out, we'll keep you posted.

Too bad about the tires and wheels!

Hey Kris, have you thought about or tried to tag it over 10K? I've got my truck tagged at 18K here in MO. It's a little more expensive ($60 annually), but there are hardly any restrictions. I checked my laws here, and they don't have any rules for a lift for a vehicle tagges over 11.5K. Of course I don't run a lift like you do, so it's not an issue for me. But, if something as simple as a set of tags can exempt you, it might be worth looking into. I just told the clerk at the DMV that I wanted 18K tags, and I got them.

Was going to do, or are going to do? Will the 30" height let you keep all your goodies?

No, 30" height will barely allow me stock (leveled) suspension with 35s (what i am doing). My front axle is on two jacks right now, im taking a break and uploading some clips

So you cannot have any llift at all? Thats BS! Hey do you have any out of state family that would let you register it at there address? I used to do that with one of my old trucks that I took all of the emission junk off of. Just a thought

well i was going to do that too, tag it in florida under my Uncles name. However i want it to be mine and not his, he is kinda shady sometimes and i dont know what he would do with the registration and stuff being in his name. Everyone i talk to (even people i dont know, like the guy at Advance Auto today) says that the deputy sheriff that pulled me over is a total dick, and he and his officers are on high alert for my truck. He has the reputation of the only officer to be an *** and pruposely lie about the speed (he lied about me going 65 when i was going 60), just to give people inspection tickets and ruin people's days, and vehicles. The people i talk to say that next time he catches me it will get impounded and im not taking that risk... Yep a stock F-350 tagged under 10K is technically Illegal by an inch but no officer can bother a stock truck.
