A pic that my dad sent me.

ok
what happened here was that my dad's truck (the ford) messed up some where North of Houston and he had his old Dodge with the goose neck and picked it up I told him.
"I told you the Dodge was better then the Ford." He just laughed.

Oh later he told me that he was surprised because the Dodge pulled that thing with no problems.

well he WAS having rear end problems not him the Ford. lol hahaha
I told him he had to big of tires on to small of a axle. Right there on the Picture he has 39.5 and now he has 35's and has not had no problems anymore. He also has 5" stacks on it man it does look good. I have told him that he needs to switch over to a cummins under that hood. right now he has the 7.3 under that hood.

At least it has a 7.3 in it. It would be better with a 12 Valve under the hood though.

Yea I am going to tell him about converting to a 12v. What about a 24v wouldn't that be better?

with the 24v comes multiple electronics, the 12v being mechanical hook up starter, shut off solenoid and a couple other things and your rolling. Not so easy with the 24v.

That ford have some really cool tires! Does it have six tires or 4? Can't see really really well.

What tires are those? 39.5xx what? What's the brand?

Thanks!

ps:this site has some nice conversion kits available.
