I’ve seen some lifted trucks in my day, but this thing really takes the cake. No other passenger vehicle I’ve ever seen has a lift this ridiculous going on.
The truck is a Ford F350 XLT Super Duty crew cab. I’ve seen it around town both at the Severed in the Southwest car show in 2011 and a couple of times out at the Scottsdale Pavilions. It was built by Genesis Automotive, the same shop I wrote about in the ’68 Lincoln Continental post. Continue reading

I came across these two trucks parked next to each other at the Happy Valley Wal-Mart last night. I find the dichotomy of the two trucks pretty interesting.
First off, we’ve got the white 9th Gen F-series. It’s probalby my favorite body style for a 4×4 truck, and probably my least favorite as a 2wd. But here, it looks great. It’s riding on 35s, which to me, stuck in my Jeep forums, are massive. I think 35’s are the perfect size for a full-size truck though, 33s look a little goofy, and any larger than 35s, and well, you’re just a dickhead. The billet grill is a little dated (although acceptable on a legit 90s vehicle) but the Daylighters show actual off-road intent, since they aren’t part of some half-ass prerunner light bar thing that’s just for looks. I also see some decent suspension work under the truck, however, the owner is still rocking (or attempting to rock) the factory Twin-Traction Beam front end setup, which is… how can I put this gently… a total piece of shit. He needs to swap a solid axle in there.
