Thats a nice truck. Too bad its a F250 a has a crappy TTB front. You need to uprade to a D60 then it wouldn't wear the front tires funny from the weight of the diesel.

i know. i just cant decide which one i want to sas. i dont have the money to do both right now. Frampton was bought first and thats when the idea came up, but now that i have the 97, im thinking i should do that because it is already lifted.

these trucks cost too much money.

I would deff do the lifted one first, It would drive so much nicer with a solid axle plus them bigger tires are alot more than stock 235/85s

short answer. NO.

that truck got me laid and in three weeks it will have her daughter on top of me too.:yahoo:

my decision has been made for me. i was told my insurance wouldnt cover me on the lifted truck because of my driving record, so it will be getting sas'd.

time to go back to the 150 and frampton.

the ranger was a 98 4.0 auto 4x4 with 135,000. they gave me 3250 for it and i was surprise, especially because they heard the lifter knock. they had the 97 listed at 8250, but the sales guy told me 7500 so they honored that. so with the trade i got the truck for 4250. not bad for having 183,000 and a little bit of rust.
