Are you towing anything? If so, you are not going to like that lift...you'll have to flip the axles and lift the trailer...that is ton a lift. No Fifthwheel is going to reach that and ride level, same for GN. Only option is a bumper pull with a drop bar.

If you are going off mean looks, the o6. That sumbeotch is bad looking.

If course the new 08's are pretty dam* sexxy.

I agree with RR on the fifth wheel, my trailer looks like it has a 5" lift kit on it and still sits lower than my truck.

In order for us to tell you how to spend your money though, you need to tell us how you intend to use the truck? I wouldn't buy a dually unless I absolutely had to, but thats just me.

That truck is def badazz.

Well im only gonna tow a boat with it and I have some property in west texas. The guy who owns it now uses it with his landscaping company and he towes a triler all the time with it. Im just trying to figure out if I wanna spend that money to get his already done up or buy a new one and add that stuff myself I might even just get a F350 stock and build it myself. I figured I can do it cheaper without all the DVD and extra crap he has even though it is nice.

Though I really dig the look of that beast....

True, there is really nothing like buying something new and adding the goodies over time - you know the quality you put into it.

By looking at that truck I am sure it's quality too! You just don't have the satisfaction of 'watching her grow up' with projects over time...

Either way I am sure you'll be satisfied

That truck is badass for sure! But...

I would go new and add stuff that you want. Then it will be personalized to YOU.

For that price, I think I would buy an '08 and do it myself. With the $4500 in rebates right now on the '08, you could do better.

You can build one for less $$. They are trying to get back every $$ ever spent on that rig, plus some extra.

You're going from an F-150 XLT to a lifted dually or an F-450?

Damn dude you planning on ripping a wall out of your house?

i would get the new one wait a couple of months and put your own touch on the truck (lift tires wheel). and you will get the new motor and body style.
