The truck held strong and saved out lives the cop told us both at the hospital.
2005 f150 2wd screw/ lariat
275/65/18 tires
2.5 front spacer
fx4 rear blocks
haven't been able to post due to legal crap (can't post pictures yet)
I was completely stopped at a traffic light on memorial day behind a honda truck, when a lady fell asleep at the wheel up hill and slammed into us at 55-60mph (what the report says no skid marks) I saw her 4 door Chevy sedan come over the hill and only had time to turn toward my father right before the first explosion. she slammed right into us, slamming us into the truck in front of us who slammed into a full size van air bags deployed slamming into me was able to ground myself and get 911 on the line and get an ambulance for my father.
The only good thing is the fire station which we had just passed was only .5 mile away
the truck saved out lives the screw cabin can held strong have a good bit of damage as you can imagine with the type of impact.
THANK YOU FORD FOR SAVING MY LIFE

Glad that you guys are ok. Sounds like my truck is setup exactly like yours, but my tires are a little different. Good story, and cant wait to see the pics.
I got the address and an email address to the CEO and VP of Ford up in Deerborn so we are still working on a letter of great thanks from a 20year old eagle scout, D1 track runner and my dad with 29.5 years of military service. Riding in a AMERICAN made truck

That is part & parcel for why my family is safely inside a Ford. Can't argue with 5 star safety ratings...and bigger mass always wins the battle IMO.
how is your pops? you mentioned a Hospital visit
