New to Lifted Trucks

[ZachMyers]

I bought a 06 F 250 with a 6" lift kit with 38" tires. I didn't particurally buy the truck for the lift, I just wanted a solid truck to drive to work. With the lift and tires i average 11 mpg which isn't helping when i drive 30 miles one way to work; and the tires need replaced. I also have a fifth wheel camper that i pull, and what i've read...i can't pull the camper with that much of a lift. So i've found a guy to trade his stock suspension and rims and tires for my 6'' lift and rims and tires plus 600$. For some reason i'm nervous about making this deal, any opinions for me.

Also when i'm turning and not moving very fast, its almost like the power steering can't handle the tires, and just doesn't operate.

Are the trucks the same year or close. Some years are different than others. Not a big deal to swap on these trucks though.

I have an 06 king ranch and he has an 05 king ranch

It will be very straight forward. Seems like a good deal for both of you. Good luck.

you can flip the axles on your trailor to raise it up a bit and it might work for you

As far as the wheels being tuff to turn when the truck is not moving that is common with big wheels on these trucks. You have to get it rolling a little for it to feel "free"

The extra wide surface area of the large tires increases friction. A ram assist kit for the steering will make it turn easier.
