ya i was tryin to but i was copyin and pasting the links and i havnt figured it all out kinda new to the picture posting. I just thought everyone, like myself, would like to see all of them to see as many ideas as possible, which is what i thought was the point of these kind of threads in the first place. Sorry if i was rude but it this isnt the first time Ive posted some pics on a site and then one guy has a problem with it and decides to speak for everyone when actually there are others who enjoy seein all the bumps out there and i just get tired of the negativity. But its all good, i wont clog up this thread anymore. The black one in the first pic is mine by the way. the grean extra cab also has a 7.3 diesel i believe

I liked them all bud!

Cryptic, i meant to ask before i got sidetracked with the pics, what are your plans with that 69? It looks like you already got it lifted a little and i see some nice lookin ladder bars. that thing looks pretty dang straight and clean. i always likd that color my dad has a 75 F250 4x4 with that color

Im going to do a duel purpose rig mostly for campin an hunting duties, but i do go wheeling with my little bro an is 1 ton jeep so there is going be alot of that as well. The body an grill are amazingly straight thats why the deal was too good to pass. I not sure about the lift it has if any i have no clue an the PO wasnt sure either so.... untill someone says what i looks to have then its just stock to me, the traction bars an air bags or getting **** caned soon not a fan of them. but other then that id like to do a 60 up front an 38's or some radial 37 hummer tires an bead locks.

it does look a little higher than factory to me but hard to tell. at any rate its a heck of a nice pickup

That truck is definitely lifted. The front springs have much more arch than original. I'd guess it has a 4" lift.
Looks great

[CrypticRacer13]

Yeah i would say a 4" lift is about right seeing how the rear has 33's now


front

rear

[1971ford]

Front springs actually appear to be re-arched originals
Rear factory blocks have apparently been swapped for other lift blocks and looks to me like a few other leafs (3?) were added to the original leaf packs, then of course the air bags and traction bars.

are both rear tires 33's? and both fronts 31's? you may know this, but don't engage the T-case until all tires match, or bad things will happen..

[CrypticRacer13]

yes the rears are 33's an the fronts are 31's the matching set was stolen off the truck before i ppicked i up,well thanks for that info you know more about this ford truck stuff then i do, that sounds like it would of been done as a buget lift years ago. when i figure out what i want to do as far as tires an a new front end ill look into finding a new 6" lift or somthing an yes i know not to mess with the tcase like this haha ive been wheeling the jeep thing for years now

Hey Cryptic, You might want to double check that your rear U-bolts are tight. From what I am seeing in the last picture there is a little to much gap between your lift block and your spring pad. Could be just my eyes, but wouldn't want to let bad things happen. Nice rig by the way.

good lookin out bud ill check it out first thing in the morning

[1971ford]

ahh ok. I see now. You bought the highboy to use to pull the jeep out. That seems to be a main use of mine too.

Just kidding


Yeah it seems somewhat of a budget lift, but should work fine.
Re-arched factory springs should work decently. If you do pull them off for a new set of lift springs i'd be happy to buy the old ones off you. Sucks about the stolen wheels. It would look great with 35's!

Like Doug said, i would check out the rear block/spring pad area. It does look like there is a gap there, like the axles is twisted up.

[CrypticRacer13]

i havnt had it for a week on my bro wants to buy it off me so he can use it as his tow rig haha. this thing would never go the places his jeep does, the thing spends half the day driving on its side in hollester hills. we have a rubicon trip the weekend after the 4th of july an i WILL NOT be driving the Highboy in that mess haha
