^Agreed.
I think the 80 is unique in that its drivetrain is SO heavy that even if you go a bit taller it doesnt feel that tippy. Thats my experience anyway. I went up, then back down, and now back up even more. I will take the extra belly clearance, longer springs, and approach/departure angles over the very small raise in the COG. Heck, even at 5" of lift and 37's my 80 is still shorter than a stock super duty. Having wheeled both set-ups I am starting to understand why a lot of the australian guys are going with big lifts. To each his own.
Now you need 40's because 6" makes 37's look small (and 40's need actual 1 ton axles). Always the problem with the 80 - it visually eats tires.
Which is nothing new - it's not like 4" doesn't make 35's look tiny.
That guys should be embarressed. I mean, really... come awn, white lettering out on the tires? geebus
Amen .. !
7" lift on 37's
Still maybe my favorite looking 80. The 14.5 width on those tires are great.... I think i'd give up a few inches in height to get another inch in width.. (insert own joke here
) I almost bought a used set of these before the xml's but the guy decided to sell them to someone else even though we had already set a date and time for me to buy them.
Those quad lights are calling my name also

there is no 80 series in any of those videos as far as I can tell. You really did not give us any information in your first post other than talk so no need for you to have attitude.
In my first reply I said it was not an 80 I said it was just tall thats why I asked before I posted, Wasnt trying to give attitude the guy seemed interested with quick post figured I would give him video instead of pic, and I will take a pic with my 80 in with it tommorow when I get to shop.

Thanks lt1! Appreciate the compliment, I'm sorry to hear about the loss on the tires, I love them but am going with the 38" toyos next, and get the quad lights they really complete the look of the 80
Lt is that your rig?
Nope... action jacksons old rig... one of the first really extreme 80 series out there... did almost buy that rig when he sold it.
