Good man! Now listen to this closely.

You will install an F-650 dash modddd. You will put big ol' Mickey Thompson mud buggers on your riiiigggg. You will lift it to the sky so that your truck can crap on birds for a changgggeeeee. So high that God Himself can shake your hand for a job well doneeeeee. A 2008 tailgate will soon appear on your truck to clean up the linessssss. You will sell everything you own to buy a set of off road style wheeellllllssssssss.

hmmm this is actually pretty cool looking...

04 F250 3/5 Drop Kit

Could do some exterior mods to make it have that 94-96 lightning look, but with a modded diesel. Would be pretty neat IMO...and I usually hate street trucks.

I just bought my 250. I like the look of the White Lowered 250! I guess I need to start saving for the 3/5 DJM Drop suspension. I was thinking about just removing the rear 2 inch blocks but I am not sure anymore...

My truck is a 2 wheel drive motorcycle/dirtbike hauler and sometime haul a 6X12 trailer.

I need to get in parking garages, because it is a tow truck. It is 6' 10" tall at the light bar, so I limit the truck to 7' garages. I thought about putting a front air ride so I can dump it to the stops when in a garage. Right now it is only about 1" off the stops. When you lift something it goes higher. I needed this truck to be as versatile as possible! This is how it sits now:
Looking good Lloyd!!!

Thats exactly right. I started stock, leveled it, then 4.5" then 5.5", then 7" then finally 8". Now I've pulled it all back off and I'm really wanting to lower it. Problem is with a 4wd you cant go to low or you get into frame to axle problems.

And due to your initial request not to bash, that's all I'll say about that!
you mean the same "load limiting wheels" that everyone runs on their lifted trucks?
