Re: ??pics of lifted longbeds??

All the longbeds in my area are lifted. That's one reason I went the other way

I still think longbeds look best lifted, but I got used to the lowered look too (even if the SWB is the best looking).

good luck finding pics, there was never a factory 4x4 longhorn and im guessing not too many ppl are into lifting 2wd trucks. but if there was a place to find one, this site would be it!

Re: ??pics of lifted longbeds??

Do you wheel it at that height? Seems like it would be wicked top heavy.

My '73 had a 6" suspension lift, 3" body lift and 35's. It was a beast and wheeled like a machine possessed!

Re: ??pics of lifted longbeds??

Not a longhorn, but here was my long bed K20 before I yanked the bed for a flatbed



This was the initial 4" lift with 35"s.

Re: ??pics of lifted longbeds??

I don't think that's Brad's truck because it's all one color

That is a damn nice truck, I love the orange. And Brad knows I dig his truck too, I just like to give him grief about his "scheme". At least he can drive his.

No, not my truck but I wish it were!

Dave, I just can't seem to pick just one color- they're all so cool! Hey, no rainbow jokes ok!
