Mann, that would be a long a$$ thread attempting that one. I think you would have to start with a shell - Then try to cram everything together and hope it works..

To much hair pulling and $$$$$ for me.... Plus, there's that question, - WHY?

I leased a 92 for a few years. Just a reg. cab 2wd long box w/a six. I drove that around for awhile, had to. - They passed a height law which prohibited me from driving my 90 on the road. I had 44's Hogs on her



It sat until I put a set of 40's on her w/wide a$$ rims 17x14 I think they were.
I was legal then. That year Ford the frame dropped just enough under the cab to be within 23"'s from the ground, but I still got pulled over all the freakin time!!

Have any of your guys taken your supercharged 4x4's off roading or mudding ever? i would think the supercharger would just dig you a nice hole if you start to get stuck. Just wondering. Hey Jbrew got any of them lights off your old truck?

All I have is one plow light still hanging around in the shop/ No KC's. I ripped both those off pulling a Chevy backwards thru Mud Lake. He decided to give it a little gas / slacked up the winch cable/ then snapped it tight / the light when flying and the other dangling by the wires. I beat him up shortly after.

Oh yea, I still have the winch as well. Old WARN 8000 LB'er

I sold that truck to a biker chick in 01.
