Now that's pretty neat!

But the lift blocks front and rear are too much...

Wished I had something like that last weekend when I was trying to get in to our cabin. (I had to walk as the snow was too deep!)

Neat truck!!!!!!!! I'll bet it's a thirsty brute.

It is a multi-fuel so it will run on most anything.

Bidding has ended.
Sold for a $ a pound.

Those blocks help to clear the HUGE 52 inch Michelin radials.
And Michelins are NOT CHEAP at that.

I understand the 'why', but it wasn't the best solution. I'd have lowered the leaf spring mounts myself as it is still a fairly cheap and easy solution.

My F-250 has factory rear blocks (pretty common) and the axle wrap is terrible. I'd guess this beast suffers worse.

Sweet rig alright. At a dollar a pound, its a steal. Love those Michelins.

I wonder if axle wrap is even an issue with soemthing like this. But the front blocks are definitely a no-no. I'd have welded an extension perch (or simply weld the blocks themselves) to the axle.
