Guess anything's possible. There's a guy on PSN that turned his 6.4 into a single turbo.

Im would guess that is 8" of lift as well...There is a guy around here that has a f250 that has 18" of lift and 46 tires on it..I swear I can drive my 4x4 F250 under it.

I'm 5'9" tall and could barely reach the door hand.

Considering that he bought the truck without opening the hood, was duped into thinking it was really a twin turboed 6.0L , and thought that 35psi of boost was high for a diesel (especially a TT) can you really expect anything less

8-10" lift, and I'll bet my bottom dollar its a stock 6.0 with exhaust and that ole 03 turbo is whistling so loud somebody probably assumed it was aftermarket.
