When I was in high school that's what we called the guys who drove cars that burned oil, mosquitoe control. Fact is, I had some that could smoke like a diesel! Except it was blue smoke, not tire smoke either!

LMFAO!!!! The 6.0L nearly bankrupted Ford in warranty claims due to "ENGINE FAILURES" which included head gaskets and many other things.

Besides that, anything more than 6" of lift is just about useless. Too tall for trails, too high to work with.

It really wouldnt matter what i say, you disagree, thats what makes it fun.lol When you say bigger then 6 are you talkin just fords, or dodges too, cuz a 6 on a dodge is only like an inch shorter then a ford with an 8? My truck will always be better then yours and your "girlie" truck will always be better then mine.lol How is it to high to work with? I can work on mine just fine.

If the truck is to high you can not load it and it is less stable, making it so that you can not work it.

I meant that you should not get a lift so high that you can not lift things up to the bed.
It not being stable would be a problem with a trailer swaying the lifted truck back and forth.

My V10 is in a 2WD 1 ton van with highway gears, so that would not be hard to do.
