These trucks are good to 300K if you take care of them, you might have thrown a little bit of money at them by that point but it's still cheaper than buying a new truck!

I've got an 04 5.4L with 175000 miles on it. Had a few big fixes lately (rear diff, front end ball joints, shocks and struts) but that's all stuff that is kind of expected to wear out. I say go for it dude.

I've got 125k on my 05 Screw 4x4 and just put a zone 6" on mine with new wheels since you can't run factory wheels. Keep that in mind if you still have factory wheels. I love my lift no problems out of it and it is decently priced.

Nice truck man, that color looks awesome.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it LOOKS like you kept your leveling kit on with the lift? If so, how does it ride, I read that you can't have the leveling kit with the lift, but I don't know......

I drove my 2000 F150 Screw Lariat with the 5.4L and 35s to over 300,000. Had the original trans and motor and still was a beast up untill the day I sold it for more that I had bought it for many years before. Now the guy who has it put on a body lift so he could fit 37s.
