Default Looking for advice from you guys on this Dodge I am considering

I currently have a 95 F150 lifted and looking at going to this dodge.

I admit, I do not know alot about trucks. I am more of a sports car person. I am not concerned with MPG on this truck.

What I would like is for you guys to look over the trucks photos to see if it was done right or half A$$ed. I know the interior is pretty messed up and willing to over come that. (if I can get the wife past it..lol)

96 4x2 but has a SAS 18" lift on 46" Military tires.

What are you looking for? What would you looking to do with that truck? Obviously it's not 4x4, so why bother? Can't really tell if it is halfa$$ from the pics provided other than the fact that whoever lifted it decided it was too much trouble or too expensive to do the front end right to keep it 4x4. I do see a pumpkin there. What do you use your current truck for?

Erm, safe???? Not really. It's tall, and is converted. Quality of workmanship is going to determine if it is safe or not. Might also wanna check lift laws in your state, to see if it is even legal to drive on the road.

What is the point of having a seriously lifted truck, with big tires, if it never goes off-road???

I bet that thing has serious death wobble. No way I would pay money for that unless I absolutely knew it was done right. If you want a big truck to feel safe in, get one of these:

We have 5 acres and like big trucks. I have been in lifted trucks and feel safe.

No dash is the wife issue, just thought I could work on that part. Not looking for death wobble..lol

The steering angles look scary.

$1000 or pass on it. No t case and no front DS gee I wonder why, going to be some serious drive-line work needed to hook up the front diff to make it a real 4wd.
