My 89 was only lifted on 33s in rough shape,I sold it for more in one day than similar trucks in much better shape for less money,and the guy I sold it to was in his late 30s so it wasn't a teenage kid with money burning in his pocket
It's all about finding the right buyer. Someone could stumble upon the truck and HAVE to have it. That's the kinda buyer we all want. Lol

Yea,we have lots of people here that can't put a lift on so they buy lifted. I just bought mine lifted because it had $1400 worth of lift,brand new $1600 tires and an aftermarket radio for the exact kbb value. It was something I saved money on so it was worth it to me

Yeah if that's what your in the market for then that's a smart buy. You prob could have flipped it and made 2-3k if that's what people down there go for. When I get my next truck hopefully in the next six months it has to be stock! Absolute must cause with diesels any mods can be detrimental if not done right or beaten on when it's chipped.

A lot of mods would scare me away from the vehicle all together, you don't know whether or not the work has been done correctly. Too many people drinking beer and hacking up their vehicles. The closer to stock, the better, when buying used.
I already know what yall are talking about but to a teenager around here they'll want it i already know ppl who are willing to pay close to 8,

I will need buy a modded truck cause I feel that a modded truck either got taken care of really good or a kid beat the **** out of it. So I just stick to stock trucks I don't even bat an eye at modded trucks. And every region is different but that wouldn't go for more than 6k here and that's if it was a kid with money. The average person would pay 5k maybe 5500. But that's Montana prices where every truck is a 4x4. I hope you get your asking price man. And I hope someone sees the mods for what they are worth. And if someone does buy it I would def let them know that they are blinding every driver they come across. And maybe that actually care and fix if.
A stock 10th gen 4x4 scab without crazy miles would go for 6k+ All day lift, big tires, and loud exhaust all add value since most people here looking for older trucks are teenagers

You have one of the few trucks that could pull them off.
