Default Dad's 1:1

Was looking through some older pics and found these. It's my dads '89 F-150 with 10" lift (6" suspension,4"body) Rebuilt 5.0 liter motor in it. He bought it on Ebay for $3000 and had it shipped up here to MI from FL. He ended up putting well over $10k into it and sold it not too long ago. Sold it because it wasnt very praticle when we were getting 5mpg. And considering the semi was getting 6.

Big! We even added to them because when we got it it sat higher in the front than the rear.

Stacking blocks, must be a ford thing, haha. Who am I kidding, it's an all truck mfg thing. How's the 4" body lift work legally in your state. It's 3" max here, and in most states I thought.

All i know is that the blocks the body sat on were 4" tall. If i recall correctly the only law around here reguarding lifted trucks is that the measurement from the ground to the bottom of the bumper has to be less than X amount of inches. (so cars dont go under the truck if they rear ended you)

It was a beast i tell ya. Sounded awesome too. Headers no cats and flow master exhausts. Man i wish we didnt sell that thing.
