Lifted Diesel Trucks That Belong To Our Readers
From the February, 2009 issue of 8-Lug

Extreme To The Extreme
Jack Manzell has owned his ’02 Ford since it was new. He put a 6-inch lift with 37-inch Swamper radials on it. Two weeks later, he went to an 8-inch lift. One month after his father passed away, he lifted it to 12 inches and put 39.5-inch Irok radials on Weld wheels. “My father kept telling me to put my truck in your magazine, but I never did get around to it,” Jack relates. “I would have loved for him to see it in your mag.” Recently, Jack lifted the truck up to 22 inches with 24.5-inch 10-lug big-rig billets and a set of Dunlop 11R 24.5-inch tires that measure out to a true 43.7 inches tall. The truck has a high-steer kit, Fox nitrogen shocks, Firestone airbags, and more.

Double Duty Diesel
This is Chris Hoiland’s daily driver and work truck. “It gets loaded up with tools every day and driven all over Alberta, Canada,” he writes. “It has seen every backroad there is to see.” The truck is an ’04 Ford F-250 King Ranch with an 8-inch Pro Comp lift. Weld Racing aluminum wheels are shod with 41-inch Irok Super Swampers. Five-inch dual stacks poke through the canopy, while a Bully Dog Triple Pup programmer combines with a Volant ram air intake for boosted power.

Not Finished
Jake Wood’s Crew Cab has been lifted 46 inches and uses 49-inch Irok Super Swamper tires on 20-inch custom Center Line wheels. This crazy ride has King shocks all the way around. We’re talking custom 6-foot coilovers with 2.5 piggyback bypass shocks here. The truck has Dana 60 straight axles, too. Jake still plans to finish out the interior before the truck is ready for a full feature.
