About a year and a half ago, there was an F550 with 48" tires floating around...it was also in one of the 4x magazines...maybe someone can point ya that direction...dunno bout 52" tires however...thats BIG...

Ps.- Just out of curiousity, how are you gonna get around the law with them big meats? You do know that 44" is the largest legal size, and thats in Texas...where there are no lift laws...itll be cool tho...i was just curious

2.5 ton rockwells, detroit in the rear, open front, 6.13 gears, he cut something like 16 feet off the frame and put a F350 box on. that thing is sweet, 2 coilovers per side front, one coilover per side rear, and a cat engine.

Tommy likely!

no it is not a 6x6 frame. he bought a 4x2 chassis cab and then did the 4x4 conversion with a 2.5 ton axle and then shortened the frame 16 feet and the wheelbase something like 6 feet. it is supposed to be valued at $125k the base f 650 is like $60k and he drives it everyday. he has some serious deep pockets and ***** of steel to hack up a new $60k truck like that. but his vison worked out and that thing is sweet.
