that's not a hurst "clutch" kit that is a hurst handle on the factory stick, and a hurst floor plate. hurst doesn't make clutches, only shifter parts.

and that is also the smallest 9" lift I've ever seen. looks like just a 3" body and nothing else.

I flipped an old trailer hitch and bolted it to the front bed bolts, then made a reciever hitch
plug to mount the hitch to. Sort of like this but this is 7700inAlberta's.



I wouldn't count that out as a recovery winch, it would get you out of anywhere a couple of your buddies could push you out. The problem I had with the winch in the bed was with it mounted 6" off the floor, by the time the cable was at the bottom of the ramps, the angle of the cable rubbed the paint off my bed floor and scarred the metal up real good, I thought about making a roller or a bolt on pipe or soothing for the cable to skid on.
How do you see to drive at night with the black headlights? GTS used to make blackout headlight covers for these trucks, mine got me pulled over once, and I tossed them.

@fordtrucknut thanks for ur info was told it was a clutch kit and was one of the few things done to the truck when i got it and the only thing u have wrong is the plate is from autozone and dont remember the brand so neeeerrrrrrrr but good try! And sorry u must either have horrible vision from the wreck it looks like ur ugly *** truck was in or it knocked u stupid if that looks like a 3 inch body lift!
Thank u kindly

@scraptor i thought about the negatives of doing that and was thinkin wat u said would happen!!!! I was also thinking about putting a bar up somehow or something at the end of the tailgate but am still stumped with wat would be the best option! And i used the nitespray that is sold at autozone but i do not recommend it at all, at night u can hardly tell i have lights! Im gonna get some fog lights and put em on sometime this week so i can see again haha!

Not bustin anyones ***** here or anything but it's TREAD PLATE!!!! Not diamond plate, I'm a metal worker and we stock the stuff in sheets from metal suppliers and the only time I've heard it called diamond plate was on trucks or some weakass commercial, and now y'all know, thanks! Also try to avoid autozone at all cost unless your buying stick on chrome (lol) or crap to was wash your truck
