Congratulations on the truck. Im up here in fort worth. What tranny does it have? hows the interior?

To answer your question, the front holds 16( i think), and the rear holds 19. Im not sure about the shortbed.

FTE is a great place to be, and the people are awesome.

Good Luck

The interior is real nice it has rubber floor, the bench seat has no stains and looks like new, it came with a pioneer cd player and the only problem it that the dash is cracked around the speedo and light switch. Thanks, I believe its the E40D its a automatic, this forum is awesome alot of great information.

From looking at your avatar, it looks like that truck has quite a rake. do you know if the Previous Owner did any mods to the suspension?

well, the great thing about working there is the parts discounts. I used to work at a New Holland tractor dealership and got a lot of misc parts there for next to nothing. Any idea what tire size you want to run? I'm looking at doing a small lift myself when the get some decent weather here. (which will be never, since I live in Michigan.)

Yeah, I'm looking at the same tire size. I was looking at doing something around 3" in the front and 2" in the rear. So you are probably about right for a 2wd model.

I'm hoping to find out what other people have lifted when using 33 inchers.
