Last thing you wanna do if you can’t afford the current prices with the factory truck is lift your truck.Has to be cheap with these dammed gas prices
You’ll just get worse mpg.not to mention the cost of the lift, install labor, wheels, tires, regear axle or axles, and usually need better shocks as lift kits don’t come with any or they come with crap ones.
So that’s a lot of additional expenses. The lift kit is just the starting point .
Then you may need to add in for insurance costs as it’s modified and insurers may want more premium.
Not sure how many of you guys were driving the last gas crunch but peope we’re trading in their gas guzzling v8 trucks for gas sipping Hondas.
And that was at $5 a gallon. It’s past 6 bucks in California for regular and diesel is 6:45 a gallon. Some gas stations in LA are at $8 a gallon.
I expect a lot of v8 powered trucks to sit parked by the end of the year. It’s costing me $800 a month in fuel right now to get to work. Not counting wear and tear and parking my crown Vic. I’m not adding in the wear tear maintenance. I drive 135 miles a day road trip.
