Jumped the truck yesterday
So, i was messin' around with a bunch of buddies yesterday and I really pushed the truck to it's limits. Semi-accidentally got all 4 wheels off the ground for a half second. Boy that soft suspension just soaked up the landing like it was nothing. Gave the truck a hefty handling assessment today and then got it up in the air and gave it a real thorough look over. Everything looks perfect! As far as I can tell, there's no damage! no play anywhere! my alignment is even still dead on! This is my work truck so I've refused to really play with it on or off road, but I was with some rally racing buddies last night and the adrenaline junkie in me got the better of me this time. I'm beyond impressed by these trucks, the amount of weight they can haul, the toughness all around, and now the abuse the suspension can take just blew me away. I'm sure many people want to tell me how much of a moron I am, and how it's dangerous and I shouldn't have done it. In response: yes, i've come to terms with that a long time ago, You're right, it is dangerous, but so is smoking, eating red meat, and crossing the street. And you're right, i shouldn't have, but i did and the rush lasted for hours.
I do not recommend this to anyone, I will not be repeating this, but I thought I'd share what I thought was pretty impressive. BUILT FORD TOUGH!
I'd also like to tag on a disclaimer saying this was done on a closed and secured section of road and as many safety precautions as possible were taken.

damn, i left that out, i went around one turn, and there was a whole herd of wizards, and i was going too fast, i clipped one at about 185 mph, give or take 150. his flock-mate got angry and cast a spell which turned my truck into a unicorn with a detachable beam sword horn. the head wizard told me he was on a quest to hunt down the evil pirate rumswaginti. and nail the princess layla. However, eric clapton HALO dove in from his high altitude bald eagle and punched me in the face for the stepping on the name layla. and then a pimp named dragon lips (there ya go) smacked mr clapton with his leopard skin wrapped, hope diamond topped pimp cane. But the clash of the awe betweeen the Clapton himself and mr. Lips created a rift in the ground out of which Danica Patrick rose like Aphrodite out of the sea. She saw my unicorn (now simply a horse) because I was holding the laser sword. NOTE: not a lightsaber, Luke skywalker comes in later but is promptly called a ***** by Han solo and mr T. Han shot first and killed Luke skywalker, along with the wild pack of wizards. One dying wizard attempted to cast a spell before he faded away and turned my not so unicorny unicorn back into my truck but didn't finish and now my artist formerly known as F150 is somewhat of a cross between a 32 ford with a blown 350 small block chevy and a charizard. Upon seeing danica patrick, i suddenly grew a mild afro of chest hair and inflated to the point where I had the body of the rock with the face of, well, myself cuz you just cant get any handsomer. Danica, or dani as I've taken to calling her, mount our new 32 fordizard and took off like a bat outa hell. This is when I went over the jump and caught some air, and at the same time pulled out a diamond ring which my trusty steed had been holding for me the whole time and took Dani's hand in marriage. We are now happily married and share romantic nights catfishing on the Potomac, and because shes kinda rich, I just bought an 05 f150.

I kept referencing to the salesmen when test driving a new one and asked if there were any jumps we could do nearby, like a test range or something :P
