Some, but down the street to pick up hay for the horses and once in a while to drive 15 mins to the gym..

Like has been stated, I would check the lift laws in your state if you plan on taking this anywhere near a public road. I would seriously LOL at a 6k asking price for that thing.

Not for $6k. The steering is likely crap, the axles haven't been upgraded to new gears, and the trans is likely about to give out.
Not to mention the fact that the plenum is prolly blown.

I really don't mean to hate, but that is pure stupidity right there. That guy can and eventually WILL cause a wreck when those bazillion inch tall blocks make the u-bolts pop.

I wouldn't touch it for 6k. Better off buying as close to stock as you can and doing what you want to it. It looks like it was painted as well.. was it a quality paint job.

For me I try and stay away from vehicles that have been modded by the PO. Just to many headaches trouble shooting etc.

Why on earth would you want a truck lifted that big with that big of tires thats a 2wd? Seems rather pointless to me. I wouldnt get it for the reasons above, you would be better off getting a nicer second gen that isnt lifted that much thats a 4x4.
