Admitting defeat and need to lower truck (shot in the dark)...

Sell it and let it be someone else's headache

I have lost over 100 pounds in the last year. That hasn't helped the fact that I have broken both knees, several times.

Them loan sharks really messed you up with the knees, Always pay back on time.

Among other things, you will have to amend your screen name.

Didn't even think about that. So, a pre running board is the only solution.

Truck looks good. What size tires are you running with that 8 inch lift? Do you have a larger pic of it?

As much as I hate to admit defeat, my old broken up knees just can't handle climbing up into my truck much longer. I have a 2003 F250 FX4 w/ an 8" lift. I love my truck, but I can't keep climbing my fat ass up into it. I do not have any of the stock suspension stuff, as I bought the truck as is w/ the lift.

What would be the best method to lower it? Change out the 8" lift w/ a 4" or so? I would like a little more lift than the factory height. Is it even feasible to add one of those hideaway running boards under my factory running boards to have a pre-factory board and create a set of steps? I do like sitting above everyone else, but just can't keep making the climb.

I have been advised to just try to swap out kits w/ someone (with them paying the labor costs); is that something that people do?

Forever known as loweredpowerstrokin.

Even though I'm big and not in the best of shape, I look out for my fellow ODT'ers so I'll suffer the pain and aggravation of a tall gas guzzling truck and trade you straight across my little uber reliable, fuel sipping, 2wd Nissan hardbody that is easy on the knees. I'll do that for you brother!

100 pounds definitely helped. You might still be having trouble getting in, but losing the weight definitely helped.
