    haha I forgot about it! Good idea!
    The two F-150's are stock height for the most part. The one on far right has a 2 inch I believe... but they're only running equivalent 33's. The photo shoot was for the guy on the right mainly, I just decided to throw us all in there for one. I'm running 285/70/17 BFG KM2s (33" outside diameter exactly on these tires), they rubbed the hell outta the inner fender plastic, but I just trimmed out all out with a pocket knife. They still hit the cab mounts on hard bumps in a turn, but theres nothing I can do about that unless I find someone who wants to weld for me, which I'm not excited to do. Its a 3" spacer lift, runs a little rough through the bumps, but I've gotten used to it. Figure I'll just save up some money for the 6" procomp down the road. Hope that helps a little.

    Here's another pic, better profile:

    Great photos. Interesting thread since I'm somewhat in the same boat. I'm looking to get out of my AC for more room. I'm contemplating getting a double cab longbed, but I only like them lifted (in fact brian's is pretty much the truck I would love to have). However, that's added cost, then your mpg is lower. I see in Brian's picture he's basically on par with a stock F150, but his mpg is most likely better. The f150 is also my other choice right now.
