You guys should look at the any level lift system. You can lower it for loading your lifted truck which can suck sometimes!

@88tcoupe 3 жыл бұрын

I like lifted trucks but one big con you failed to mention was the fact that the bed is almost useless. Not very convenient if the bottom of the bed is sitting 5 feet above the ground lol. Still a good video, always like your content!

@fillmoreranger634 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah… great video! I was thinking the same as 88tcoupe about the truck bed. Those tailgate steps are awesome, but pretty much useless on a 5 foot tall truck. 😂 Dooley 😂

Just a suggestion for the “future videos” planning clipboard... I hope one day you guys can showcase the AMP Research Powerstep XL running boards on a 4” and 6” lifted F150 to see how much better (or not) they are for getting in and out of those tall trucks, compared directly to the regular Powerstep boards or factory fixed boards. I have the AMP Powerstep boards on a 2020 FX4 with stock suspension, wheels and tires. They are perfect for this old guy.

Lifted trucks should have a defined distance above surface for bumpers. A lifted truck will always come out the winner when hitting a passenger car…sometimes climbing over the hood! Also, having a higher center of gravity, they have compromised handling.

Only height challenged people find the cons for lifting your truck. I can't think of one good reason not to! It's great for cardio. Instead of the drive-thru you park and walking to get what you want. You can double park just about anywhere simply by just parking on to of those annoying little tiny cars. The list is endless! Lift it up!! You're love it!!

@@TCcustoms_ Yep… The chip shortage is so bad that you don’t have 2021 trucks to put those lift kits in. I have been noticing how “devoid of vehicles” your lot is in more recent videos. Plus, you guys are now doing videos (highlighting Ford stuff) on trucks your customers have bought elsewhere. I feel for you guys. It’s going to be an even rougher July and August than the June disaster was. I hope FoMoCo can start to turn things around in September. Peace!
