    Nice ride Mike-
    "Here's my new one. Nothing real special, but sure rides a lot nicer than the Excursion. We'll see if the wife goes for the lift! "

    GotWake-

    I love my lifted F-150. Only problem is the rear sag when towing with a load in the bed. I would not go higher than 6' lift and 35' tires. You will loose a lot of acceleration.
    Good luck!

      That looks great! Are you at 6"? Looks like more. Give us the low down on it! Anyway, I had a buddy tell me the same thing on the rear and I really didn't want to go bigger than 35" tires. (wife issues there) Do you need 6" for a 35? Haven't dug into it yet - thanks.

        Got Wake,
        You can run 35 inch tires with a 4 inch lift, but it can rub your fenders.
        I went with a 6 inch fabtech lift. I have no problems at all.
        I would get All-Terrians versus Mudders. They make a lot of noise on the freeway, and cause vibration on the steering wheel.

        Goos luck!

            Hey Stef Jelos
            How does the FJ do pulling the boat?

              Awesome. The FJ is a heavy, wide vehicle. Tongue weight is about 250lbs for my trailer. Hardly notice it's back there. Highly recommend the FJ for towing.

                  Hlymons,

                  In the last edition of Trailer Boats magazine, they tested an new FJ pulling a 2006 Nautique 210. I believe the weight of the boat/trailer was around 4,700 pounds. They reported that this Toyota did very well pullling this boat in several conditions even though it was pushing the limit for it's maximun Towed weight. They seem to like this new truck. It is growing on me - - especially since I saw the black one above pulling the 211!!!!
