Thats a danged good lookin truck Hammerhead!!!

As for aftermarket, look around Summit and Jeggs, some of the old Mustang tricks work on these trucks, some dont. Check this site up and down, its full of good info on mods and how tos!

There used to be a 2wd dually out around these parts that was SLAMMED, low as crap and looked mean. My buddy's parents in Highschool had one too, but it was the next body style up with the bigger headlights. Still have it I believe, BIG ole truck.

Maybe it's just me, but lowering a dually has to be the worst idea ever.
It completely defeats the whole purpose of having a dually. As long and wide as they are, it isn't really practical either.

Why do you say that? Lowered/bagged trucks can haul and tow just fine.

I can send you a couple pics if you would like. Dont want to hijack this thread.

That a nice truck bud, it looks great. I noticed you have a Mustang in the garage. You should post pictures of it in the show stang or other ride thread. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ther-ride.html

A lowered non dually truck is fine and dandy, but when is the last time you saw a lowered dually towing a 5th wheel? I mean, thats what duallys are for.

Hello everyone I am kinda new to the thread. I have a 1992 f150 flareside 4x4 351w with 3in body lift, 35in bfg muds, 15in mickey tompson rims. This is an old picture I have put the flareside steps back on. I think it looks better with them on as soon as I get a day off I will post a new pic of my truck. So tell me what you think. Thank you very much cory aka flaresideman

Wow, I'm not a fan of flaresides, or body lifts, but this really works. I'm not just being nice either, the tire and rims could not go any better with that truck.

Oh and try taking pics when the sun isn;t so intense. Like a cloudy day, or when the sun is setting. Cheers
