Strongest half-ton suspension

Here's one I found. Looks like **** with those stretched tires. Says he's only on 6" and 1.5" BL.

Seen that truck on instagram. Definitely needs wider tires... at least 13.50s. Looks good tho, I would have paintmatched everything and done chrome wheels but that's just my opinion.

On a side note... are the 4th gens 4 link suspension?? Sorry for sounding like a total newb, but I don't know much about the new trucks. I do see coil springs back there... don't i? Lol

Yes the rears are a link suspension setup.

wow, shows how little I know about these newer trucks! What are the advantages over the leafs?

I agree, the 2014 trucks seem to be great and I would love to have a 2500 Cummins 6.7..... but money doesn't grow on trees! Lol

I don't really understand dumping money into a truck to keep it for only 10k miles then

Agreed. Spend 1500 on a beater and drive it until it blows up.

A 20,000 dollar truck to drive for 10k makes no sense. I don't understand the logic.

I search constantly for deals. I make deals on everything I buy. wheeling and dealing is like a hobby for me. if I handle it correctly, I should be able to make money on my next truck. I have made money on my past 2 trucks. it's hard for people to understand... but when you put so many miles on a vehicle, the value drops a huge amount. not including the money you spent in upgrades. when you just drive it to the ground, you loose everything. if you buy sell buy sell, you can actually keep increasing your price range for trucks.

Ride quality, that it it. It lowers your payload a considerable amount over a ford or chevy. In the price range you are looking at in 09 to 10 ford still had the 5.4 which was 315 hp 365ish lbs of torque. Gm had their 5.3 which was 315 hp and 335 lbs of torque. Meanwhile Ram had 390 hp and 405ish lbs of torque. For the years you are looking at those numbers should answer your question. If you could find a gm with the 6.0 or 6.2 that would be ok but still down on power to the 5.7.

I have a buddy who does the same thing, he usually flips quads and makes a unbelieveable amount of money (it's his full time job basicallyq, boats and jet ski too)
He thought he could do the same thing after flipping a couple superdutys and a mustang
Bought a demo '11 f150 lariat, put a 7" lift on it with 20x10 xd spy's and 37s
Finally sold it after a year and took a pretty good hit

With dealers selling trucks brand new with lifts it's really tough to sell a "like new" truck with accessories when someone could buy a brand new one with the same parts and a warranty
Hopefully you have better luck in Texas
