i know how yall all were saying that its a real bad idea to put 40" tires on the IFS of our truck. but the chevy 2500 is IFS look at this bad boy http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...QQcmdZViewItem

why is the chevys IFS any better than ours...or is it not and so on? cause trucking always has a bunch of chevys on 40's and all off roading and they dont seem to get hurt.

 

I told you this before so I'll quote it again. And by the way, I think that chevy is pretty ugly (and I like almost all makes):

 

thanks josiah i do remember you saying that, just seems like alot of people here dont encourage like its the death sentence to my truck. though i do think pretty highly of your advice and what you say so that gives me some hope also.

but also the FTS kit is built for that tall of tires...if I were to do 40's, then i would have a Rize kit with 3 inch body.

im with you on the ugly chevys also....well...they aint too bad....when u look at the 2007's

 

I used to think they were a good looking truck when lifted but I can't say that anymore, they've lost their appeal. The interior is way behind, it's just a real basic truck. You will be fine running 40's just don't get a chevy, that looks rediculous. When Dave snapped his front shaft there was a chevy on 33's and some 8+" lift who snapped his front end as well, guy went crazy as I understood. I don't see why a 2500 diesel would have IFS up front anyways

Running 40" OC's is close to running 37" MG's (you'll have to find out their weight), you shouldn't have too much trouble.

 

Ur 16 man, why dont you just go with ur original plan, and put some money away for school, and later on you can make ur truck as high as the empire state building if u want to...

 

Thats a great point Tx, but he ain't going to listen. I didn't and I don't think thump did either I have an extra buck or two saved for school and if needed I can sell this.

 

yeah i think its ridiculous that the chevy has a IFS being a 2500. so me running mickey thompson ATZ's would be like running say....38" MG's?? mabye? haha

well i just found a pretty good deal on a 2006 Ram Power Wagon (comes with winch and auto locking front/rear differential) 3000 something miles on it. and i can mabye get the price down a little more.

oh and TX i undertsnad your point....but being in georgia is great for school...because we have the HOPE Grant so if i have a 3.5 GPA i go to school in GA for free basically.

 

it's just a lot of stress on the axle

EDIT: God knows I have blown all my money into my truck and all I have to my name is my truck.

 

dont want my axle snapping haha but this truck really has my attention, http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...7&aff=national

lifts arent expensive at all either.

 

if i were to go with a dodge i want a power wagon or a viper. either or

 

thats what i like to hear....a little support....i do love ford and alwasy will though.

 

that interior is but *** ugly tho

 

why is the Chevy's IFS any better than ours...beacuse that one is on a 3/4 ton truck, and every thing is "HD"!

 

i like the interior...its roomy.....but i dont think ANY other truck on the market compares to the 150's interior.

 

The whole truck is freaking fugly. The new Rams with the cat eye headlamps look gay and the Chevy with the Avalanche front ends never looked good. Both have interiors that were ahead of their time though, as long as that time was 1992.

Just keep the F150 Pat, it's a better truck, better looking, you have the freaking parts for it already...
