They do. It is high school. I hate kids that are given THAT. I can understand the Corrola or Camry but come on now.

Sombich! Never knew it was on YouTube.
Yes he's a senior in hs. There are a few guys in hs around here w/ nice trucks.
It looks better with the 8in lift IMO. It doesn't bother me when hs kids get nice vehicles, I think it's great. What does bother me is when they don't take care of it or are D-bags or are ungrateful/irresponsible. If I had it I'd baby it, and not do this.
which is how he lose the bottom valance(right word?) and he bent the bumper rear ending a 4runner one day.

I really don't understand yalls hatred towards kids that have nice stuff given to them by their parents. I drove an old 94 diesel blazer most of my high school years before i got my truck, but it didnt bother me one bit when i saw kids driving brand new trucks or cars (wether they took care of them or not). I could honestly care less how people spend THEIR money but to each their own i guess..

I think the overall thought behind it is the kids that drive these expensive toys that mommy and daddy buy are generally douche bags! Before anyone on here gets their panties in a bunch I know there are exceptions to everything and not saying all are but my experience is where I live if the parents bought the kid a brand new dodge or F -250 the kid is usually a prick and those are the ones I get in fights with at the bar because they have no respect for anyone or anything.

Derail over. I don't know the offset, but it rubs a little on the front arms, and it rides decently.

My dad bought me my old 06 crew cab GMC brand new outta high school...I wouldnt consider myself a prick or anything, and it def. didnt help me become any popular or cooler so to speak...I have a clean record and chose to be cautious back in my college days...
I think it all varies with the kid as an individual....cause I do know some so called "spoiled kids" that do fall into the category above, but then you have people like me that were never like that...my parents raised me to work for everything I own and i damn sure did even with a family business...its all about the way you live your life and how hard you worked to accomplish your goals..
Not saying im perfect cause i did have a very heavy foot an it costed me a 4.8 and a 5.3, and dad did help me out on one of em, but you live and learn and crash and burn...now everything i have leads to my hard work and dedication...one day ill pay my dad back also for as much as hes done for me too...
Its all the individual, not the stereotype...

My dad bought me a tank of gas for my truck when I graduated high school. I bought my truck as well, when I was 15. They helped me get a set of tires for it my senior year. I was raised, if you want it, do what you have to to get it. They had a roof over my head and food on the table, I wasn't going to ask them to buy something for me. Its selfish if you ask me

I just picked this up today
It says made to fit F250-F350 SRW. I have 2012 F450, the only difference I can see between them is the rear diff. I thought it was bigger and that I would need different u-bolts, but apparently I was incorrect. Upon closer examination the readylift u-bolts appear to be the same size but obviously longer.
Now my questions is, on a long box dually with a factory 2" non tapered block can I safely go to the readylift 5" non tapered block in combination with the steady bearing drop plate to maintain proper pinion angle or should I just run a factory F350 SRW tapered (3 3/8 - 3 3/4) block.
Also I'm aware that I might have axle wrap issues with the 5" block, but what are the chances it will/will not. How big of a rear block are some guys running without problems. I'm all for traction bars down the road, but it's not likely to happen very soon. I'm just curious because I would rather do traction bars later when I want to instead of now cause I need to.
Thanks

I think the DRW trucks have a bigger axel tube so the U bolts in the kit may not fit around it.

I checked the u-bolts quickly last night, they appear that they should work. The u-bolts don't go under the axle, they go over the spring pack and overload spring then come down through the plate under the axle. As far as I can tell it should all work, except with the 5" block there won't be many threads sticking out of the nut.

I would get longer u-bolts if there is no threads showing past the nuts, you want to make sure that the nut is holding on to every thread so it is less likely to loosen up.
