    You can buy 'real' lift kits, but they're expensive. I'm not sure who supports the Ford, but if you look at KORE and Carli (they support the Dodge), you'll probably shit your pants when you see how heavy duty the stuff is (and how expensive it is).

    These guys are jumping their diesel quad cabs and everything else. Yeah, the Fabtech kits are a mawl crawling application. But I'm sure there are some legit kits out there for the Ford. Your rig is pretty big for wheeling, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the mud, or the occasional trail.

    And larger wheels and tires will put a little more strain on your stopping, etc, but no more so than that travel trailer does already. With today's tire technology, 35" and 37" tires can be had that are road friendly. They're not cheap, but they're miles better than what most people think of when they think of big tires. Lots of guys with the big Dodges run 37" Toyo Open Country M/Ts on the factory 17" wheels. Not only does it look bad ass, they perform well too.

    It can be done... its only $$.

    You're a smart guy, though, Pete. I'm sure whatever you choose to do will look great, and serve your needs well.

          He's got scrub brakes, activated via' floor-lever. That, and a back up system of horse reins tied to the grill.

              Well Carli carries lift kits for my ford...$4500 for the top of the line kit aint bad a bad price if it stands up to that kind of abuse. I would never get one because as much as I want to I will never be jumping my truck. They do have a 4.5in starter kit that looks good for less than half of the top of the line kit.

                  The starter kits, are great, Pete.

                  Alot of Dodge guys have them, and the parts are great, and the look is killer.

                  And in that video... the exhaust is perfect. The duals, and the smoke...

                  Diesel Power claimed 500 rwhp from an intake, tuner, and exhaust on a 6.4. Not sure which issue that way, but it was a green '08 F250. One of their build-ups. You can probably find it on their site.

                  Stock transmission, and they beat the hell out of it, and said it held up beautifully. They actually favor the Ford autos over any of the others.
