I think it looks fine how tall it is. Fat gurls can't jump :thefinger:

When my truck finally hits puberty it will look like yours Daniel, just maybe not quite as tall, as I am not super tall myself :icon_thumby:

Truck sits way tall...Are the axles both open still? I didn't see anything in here about lockers or anything.


Better ground clearance than a 14b, its full floating and has disk brakes. you could get a 10.25 as well, but it has drums
Not entirely correct on this one...All 10.50's do have disk brakes however there are semi float models and some 10.25's have disk brakes (mostly under vans) I would get a van axle no matter what 8 on 6.5" and disk brakes just have to make sure you get one thats full float. The Ford van's even come with a tone ring for the speedo.
