Thanks! If you're talking about the 2000, my mother-in-law liked it so much, she bought it. I still get to drive it, almost every weekend. So, it's like it never really went away!

Of all my past Ford's though, this is the one I liked and miss the most:



1999 Amazon Green F-150 SuperCab
4.6L V-8
American Racing Atlas wheels, 295/60/16's
Flowmaster SIDO exhaust
Back windows were Limo tinted, front two were 35%

This was before I got a digital camera, so the best pics of it are in my album- these pics do it no justice....

Well this is basically what I want my truck to look like if I ever get around to lifting it. Student budgets suck.
As long as it gets USED. I like trucks lifted (and used) as well as lowered (NOT slammed).

I like lifted trucks as well; however in my town literally 2 out of 3 trucks are lifted. Then you factor in color, make, and model, and 1 in 3 are WHITE, LIFTED, f150s... considering I am not one to have the same boring thing as everyone else, I went for the lowered sport truck.

Besides, my last truck was geared for an off-road look, but since I babied it so much it never went off-roading... like most people with lifted trucks.

On the flipside, I utilize the AMAZING handling characteristics of my lowered truck every time I drive it. The thing rides like it is on rails...and you would have to see it to believe it.

anyway...I swing both ways when it comes to lifts and drop kits... it's all about doing it right.

I like the lifted look, as long as it doesn't go overboard. I've never been a fan of lowering a vehicle, any vehicle, but especially a truck.

Running boards My hubby threatens to take mine off but I keep telling him I'd have to get a stepstool to get into my truck and it's not even lifted!! I'm just very vertically challenged

My wife is EXTREMELY vertically challenged (4ft-something) and has Muscular Dystrophy. I keep trying to sell her on the Belltech 3/4 drop kit "So it will be easier for her to get in", but so far she's not biting.

I agree if you go too big it actually hurts the trucks ability to really be able to go off road, then it just becomes eye candy.

I dislike lowered trucks to the degree that I'd carry a stepstool around with me if I needed it rather than lower my truck

I don't understand the disdain towards lowered trucks...

Allit really does is make the truck handle better, more stable, less likely to roll over in an accident, safer....

What's not to like?

A lot of it seems to go with how a truck is used. Pepole like Rose living where she does usually prefer high trucks. People that drive highways as we do here like lowered a little for handling.

Yes. It's purely functional.

well I for one hate the look. I can understand slamming the street racing junk but a truck (in my world) is for off-road fun and they just look better jacked up. Must be the hillbilly in me

Well for starters, a lowered vehicle around here would be entirely impractical, especially to the degree most people take it. Our roads are not exactly smooth, bumps and potholes are common, curbs and driveways would rip your undercarriage out. My buddy's civic (the one I hate getting into) had half the exhaust system ripped out because he hit a bump with too many people in the back.
A lifted truck on the other hand, means in the winter you can still get to work without a cab. A car will scrape bottom down the back lanes when the tires sink into ruts, but the center of the lane is still raised up with ice and snow, nevermind a lowered truck.

Also, a lowered truck looks dumb, but thats entirely my opinion
