    I’ve been lifting trucks since 1983. I know just a bit about the topic. You really did the lift right it looks absolutely amazing.

    I did a 6 inch BDS lift on my 22 lariat used exact same rims n tires also added the airlift bags in the rear with the wireless remote compressor for the sag when towing. Truck looks amazing!!!

    Solid video man! To control the squat you can always get a pair of RAS HD's. Those have been total game changers for my PB and the best part? I did not lose any articulation at all and the ride is somehow even smoother.

  • @dgomadeit5593
    @dgomadeit5593 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The real question is how much did this lift and wheel and tire setup affect your hybrid engine. Mpg, response, electric mode etc. I want to do the same thing but I hear a lot of people say that it affects the truck even with just a 3 inch lift. I want 35s and 24s on mine btw.

    What’s amazing is your truck now sits about the same height as an F-250 Tremor.
    I’m going to buy a new truck in 2025, that is, I’m going to order a truck toward the end of 2024. I’m really considering the F-150 powerboost. If not, I’m going to go with the f-350. The F-350 is overkill but the F-150 won’t legally pull my dump trailer.

    Truck looks awesome. I’m ready to trade up my 19 FX4 eco boost I’m leaning towards a tremor but I drive about 40k per year how has the hybrid been since you got it sorted and is there a big difference in mileage from regular eco to hybrid?

    • @GearsGadgets
      @GearsGadgets  ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t think the hybrid is a fantastic MPG play, even before I started modding it, I didn’t think it made a big difference for me. That said, I also don’t drive with MPG in mind, I’m hard on the gas and also fast on the highway in a city where 65mph is the speed limit but 80mph is common flow of traffic. If I lived back in my hometown of Buffalo where speed limits were 55 mph and state troopers wrote speeding tickets for 65+ I would anticipate much better economy. I bought my hybrid for capabilities of idling with AC on electric here in Phoenix without running the motor and the generator as a family safety net incase of natural disaster.

  • @ПервыйВатт

    I am also considering the option of lifting the car, but the fact that the car will behave differently and there is no return to the basic configuration stops me
