If you have ever driven a truck with anywhere near that amount of lift, you would not want it. They are great to look at, a huge PITA to wash and drive. If it were me, I would pass. But I've done it before and know better.....

It is a MONEY PIT.

My wife would say the driver must have a small nubby and is trying to make up for it.

So, in a word...Nope.

Looks like it would only have a couple inches of travel before the tires hit the fender

the only thing I don't like about it (other than the blue oval) is that the tires look way too big for those wheels.

yup.

not to mention the tires/wheels are not wide enough for the height of the truck.

the ad claims over 85k invested... where? maybe 85k miles invested to getting it to look like that.

but its a show truck that is not practical in the least. if I was spending the money he's asking for it, I could buy and build my own truck.

It would be easy to change the oil.

Not for me, too much lift and its a Ford.

There is no way he is getting 20 MPG on the highway. I have a 2003 7.3 liter and I get 20 MPG and I don't have to turn 52" of tire.
And say what you want about Ford, but their trucks have never given me a problem.
