I ur looking for head studs i do believe that Hypermax has them for our 7.3L. There web site was GoHypermax.com. They sell lots of stuff for our 7.3L IDIs. They have rods, valves, pistons and many more upgrades. Check them out.

 

Never, I have no use for a vehicle like that.

When you run a snow plow, it has to set at a very specific height above the ground for the plow to be able to angle and still scrape the ground evenly.

I haul way to much weight on my truck for it to be sitting way up in the air.

And I would never be able to tow trailers as heavy as I tow now, the hitch height also has to be a certain height before you have to start applying a percentage reduction to towing capacity.

Jacked up trucks have just as many disadvantages as they have advantages.
Out on flat ground, no doubt they can cross deeper water than I can.
But it has been so long since I forded a stream I can't remember when that was.
But when you live in the mountains and nothing is flat, that high center of gravity also limits where that jacked up truck can go before it falls over on it's side.
I was up against the side of a steep hill last week in a place that white one would have been rolling down the hill sideways.

I am satisfied with my trucks capiblilties on and off road as it sets right now.
Good tires, limited slips in both axles and using my head off road get me anywhere I need to go.

This picture is not the greatest, you can't really tell I had to stop and clear the mud away from my passenger side mirror so I did not tear it off.



And finally, I am to old to crawl up in some jacked up monster as many times as I am in and out of my truck some days.

 

i c ur point i tow with my truck and have no problems

 

You can't buy a drop insert that is rated for 12,000 pounds with more than a 4" drop.

Those 6 and 8 inch drop inserts are doing good if they are rated for 3500 pounds, many are only 2500 pounds.

I have to be able to pull more than an empty trailer.
And I sure am not going to be pulling a 50,000 dollar machine with 6 times the weigh on a hitch that it is rated at.

Since I am doing it as a business use, I have a DOT number and have to go through scales and DOT checks.

 

i have custom hitch i towed my aunts 500000 boat so ha

 

Might have to call them, as I wasn't able to find anything there. They may have them for the Powerstrokes, but those won't fit our engines.

 

The highest rated hitch reciever I know of is 17,000 pounds.
So 500,000 pounds is 29.41 times the max weight rating.

Then again since a proper load would be putting about 10% of the weight on the truck, I think 50,000 pounds on the hitch would rip the frame mounted reciever right off the truck.

I was born at night, but it was not last night.

 

He was trying to impress you with the cost of the boat, $500K, but without using the $. Didn't work, did it?

 

!!!!!!!!!! LOL !!!!! -- !!!!! LMOL !!!!!!!!!!

 

what can i say ian not perfect

 

Nope, not at all.

 

None of us are - but some try harder than others

Like Dave, I have no use whatsoever for a truck jacked way up in the air. Being able to drive through 2' of water is no big advantage compared to being able to do all the other things a lower truck can do. Useful things like towing, hauling, etc.

Being jacked up a foot higher than stock is only good for deep water and for killing people in normal cars.

 

i work in remote places and need the big tires
