Lifted Trucks

[imported_nautique]

I have a 2005 F150 and thinking about putting 33's on it but I commute a total of 2 hours a day to and from work and not sure if I should do it.

What is everyone's opinoin? Lift it or keep it stock?

Have a lifted truck, post it

With that much driving with that much truck...you could lease a Civic for free with the gas savings.

2 things:

how to poll?

I looked at buying a civic and keeping my truck(won't sell my truck - love it too much) and it wasn't worth having both. I pay like 300 bucks more a month and I can afford that

 

[nakedfrog]

Are you lifting it just because, or have an actual reason?

i HATE those damn dualies!!!!

[imported_nautique]

worst thing ever. worse than ricers by a long shot. you defeat any safety that was built into the truck and make sure that the bumper/impact zone is so much higher than any normal vehicle that you will most certainly do grevious harm to anyone you hit. even trucks are built with some structures down low to help direct force lower to help other vehicles survive where they are strongest, especially seen in newer suvs/trucks. but to defeat all of it completely for reasons of vanity. its irresponsible to the core. to be so callous with the lives of others, its plain sick. people like that disgust me.

the f150 doesn't come with a dualie option

just a simple warning if you start to lift your truck, keep your steering and suspension in mind. When you raise the truck the center of gravity goes up, easier to tip in other words. A camber kit you will need if you go too high. Do some research on this besides this forum. There are a lot of 4x4 sites out there, google is your friend.

find yourself an 86 to early 90s civic crx hf, awesome gas mileage if you can fit in them

really? there are some good reasons to lift your truck. this is one: higher ground clearance allows you traverse terrain that normal height trucks cannont.

And as a bonus, your chances of killing other drivers in an accident increase signifigantly.

More like 90% of all accidents involving a lifted truck have fatalities

Do it and post pics.

I don't see many lifted civics or toyota camrys that have a bumper sitting at the height of your normal sedan owners head.

I lifted my 4x4 3" (got stuck by 1" last year tring to get my deer out of the woods- this year no problems) ... for highway use forget it they whine and handle poorly at high speeds. For off road, do only what you need (it's easily to lift the truck over a problem than to try to dig under a problem area). as to manliness my other truck is a kenworth so kiss my mud flaps you little skateboards.

maybe not, but howabout engine mods that cause the motor to create more power at the wheels? If you're gonna do it, do it right. research it, learn what the consequnces are of it. Yeah accidents happen. careful drivers don't cause accidents. I don't care if you are a ricer, in a low-rider, lifted truck, or stock vehicle. You can cause an accident in any of those vehicles just as easy as the next idiot.

 

[JoPh]

go for it. lifted trucks to a certain degree look 100% better and more aggressive. just dont do a redneck lift. moderation.

many cars have more power at the wheels and it doesn't fundamenntally amke them less safe. in an accident that was gonig to happen anyways it does not affect safety as even the weakest cars can speed, and no speeding is required for an accident to happen anyways. lifting your truck affects safety of others in a very fundamental way. it makes sure you will simply crush the softest part of the other vehicle, crushing upper bodies/heads whatever. it defeats the safety/compatibility engineered into the vehicles completely. its like fitting long spikes on your hood that will spear other people in the case of an accident and claim that u can because you aren't an idiot driver like "other people" and so its really just as safe as other mods no one thinks they are a lousy driver, its the way it is. and no one goes out looking to be in an accident. hell, much of the time it won't be your fault, someone else may start the chain reaction, most accidents the driver isn't prepared for, thats why they happen. but when it happens your raised truck is going to create unecessary carnage because of your stupid vanity.

on the other hand..lowered cars actually make themselves less safe rather than endanger others oddly enough.

when i see a raised truck i just think jackass. and much of the time the way they drive(driving over center dividers and such for illegal uturns) and tailgating/speeding just makes it more evident that they are vehicles for jackasses.

you better the hell not be religious or pro life if you drive something like that.
