na, its started here in BELL,fl in the 80s. flipping the i beams on trucks so they have more clearence for muddin and pull better.

 

Every "lifted" truck I saw in myrtle beach had t-bars fully cranked, stock rear stuffing 33's or a 4" front lift, 2" rear stuffing 35s.

 

most trucks around here have 4in front lift 2in drop and no blocks, rarely u will see on with 9in lift in front and 2in dropped in the back lol

 

Well, I'm not bashing anybody's ride. I think their neat trucks. Some I like and others not so much. Overall, I love trucks and some of the major advancements since I drove my first truck in 1976, 1971 GMC stepside with a strait 6. Cost my dad $500 and burned as much oil as it did gas. Loved that truck but knew nothing about how to give it the face lift it deserved. rotted in place once it died 6 months later. It had a wooden bed. The truck I loved the most, though, was my Explorer Sport Trac. Had everything I dreamed of, until now. Now it's my 2010 F-150 SCrew, a major improvement over my 1993 F-150 SCab. Liked it so much I bought my son a 2008 F-150 SCrew. Now its time for some simple upgrades to personalize them. I think I'm going to have as much fun spending time and money on his as I will with mine.

 

I like the look and was thinking about it, but is this true that it hurts gas mileage? i dont care how bad it is now but i dont want to make it worse lol

 

I haven't noticed any decrease in mileage, I'm still rockin 13mpg in town, the only place you may see a slight decrease might be the highway, but it wouldnt be anything noticeable like a lift, or larger tires.

 

I cleaned the thread up, keep it civil guys, the dick measuring contests dont fly here. If you dont like someones rig just move on to another thread. This is a warning to those involved.

 

that looks good man. my friend just got his leveling kit and 35" trail grapplers put on his truck today. it has the stance of yours only it's a f250 so it's probably a good bit higher
well I've heard it does but I think it just depends on how much higher the front is then the rear. if the truck sits higher in the front then it is going to effect the arrow dynamics of the truck and probably decrease mileage a little bit. I will probably do it to my truck eventually though

 

^^^^Some people have since


Not bashing the ops truck, but this is a public forum! With that being said maybe some of the comments that were deleted just didnt go into detail.

I think it's a smart Idea to lift the front of your truck and lower the rear to lessen your field of view, smaller cars, motorcyclist, bicyclist, and pedestrians don't need to be seen.

Edited for the smiley.......... Out!
