lifts and hauling ?
 
i was thinking about putting a lift on my truck but i haul my bobcat and my tractor on a trailer every other weekend i was wondering if i lifted my truck 4 inches if it would break my lift. i know i gotta get a lowered ball hich for my truck if i do lift it but thats not to hard i was just wondering if there was any other problems with a lift hauling a heavy load any suggestions or advice ?

Wow what happened to that back tire? Nice truck, great when people actually use them for what there intended.

it just looks a little goofy when the back end sags. unless you have like a 12" lift. then the front end comes off the ground lol

go with a leaf springs. stay away form blocks. you will have a little bit of a harder ride but you wont have to worry about losing blocks from your rear end.

who makes rear leaf springs ? n how more expensive are the leafs than the blocks?

The only thing with towing heavy, is buying the drop hitch rated for what you are doing. Pricey little suckas.

All of my trucks have been lifted with a block... Never had a single issue. Not once, in 1.2 million miles of driving these trucks.

Just run a block (single block but a block) and be done.

Good advise on the hitch!

The tire I am not sure, they were used tires I ran when I tore the sidewall off a Toyo MT (something on the road)... I was a few weeks away from wanting to install new MT's so I threw these used tires on, about 2 weeks later coming home that happened! Lucky I had the bronco on the trailer, backed it off and drove it home. Jumped in the Ex and put mine on the trailer.
