Not at all...drives very flat and stable.  The 12" wide wheels are deep and kick out the tires better than 2.5 inches on each side.  Also I'm running 1.5" wheel spacers to kick the tires out even more.  So at the same time it got lifted 12 inches the distance between the outsides of the tires increased about 8-9 inches. 

Sounds like a good ratio to keep from tipping over! My girlfriends cousin just put a 6in. lift on his 90s Ford and keeping his 16in rims and 31s..... Kinda curious how that'll go.....

Some quick photos of my dirty truck leaving work yesterday. Looking forward to the new Bluetop steering gear! 

Nice QCSB Marcus!  I see you are getting plenty of snow up there...

Thanks! Actually we have had N extreme mild winter. 8 degrees this morning is the coldest I’ve seen yet. Usually see negative 20-30 degrees by now.

Sounds like you already know how it's gonna go...and I think I agree with you.  Yeah the height to width ratio makes a big difference!

Holy cow...lowest I've seen here so far this winter is 33 and even that was pretty uncomfortable.  I can't imagine single digits, much less negatives.  You got thicker skin than me...or some serious parka...or both! 

We're dipping to -30 in Iowa tonight according to news. It was -20 on the way to work this morning. Already seen few trucks on side of the road. 

Still -26 here in Wisconsin somehow winter arrived here in Wisconsin with fury around mid January wind chills are close to 50F below I'd post a new picture of my truck but haven't put my replacement bumper on...  some dumb broad ran into me with daddy's Escalade in a parking lot.  I was walking out of the store watched it happen and then due to distance watched her drive away leaving parts of the Escalade in the parking lot at least I got the plates...

 

Picked this one up a year ago. Had a 2006 2500 with the hemi before this gal. 

 

Said we couldn't get 100 bales on there. This was back in 2016.

Nice truck! Looks very sharp!

Wouldn’t mind seeing some more pics!

Here’s my 01.  Had it 6 years.  I grew up with these and the 12 valves on a farm back in Michigan.  When it came time for a truck, I knew which ones could take abuse and keep on delivering.  That said it’s been a long road getting this one back into spec.  Couldn’t have done it without this forum. I’m very grateful. 

 This thread has been dormant for a while but hey why not. I'll post a couple of mine. First one is me towing a fifth wheel for my son. The second, we were hauling hey for the cows. There are 44 bales just in the bed at about 50lbs each.

Nice looking truck, wish they would hold up that way, I may do that someday to my truck if it becomes a toy. Looks like lots of tlc there.

Thank you. The suspension alone was 96 hours of shop time with me and my daughter's BF. We did the whole thing in 4 weekends minus countless hours dialing it in after all was fabbed and assembled. Everything was just a collection of suspension fabrication parts, DOM tubing, off road coil over shocks and the like, pieced together by me. No instructions, nothing cut or pre-welded. The truck was only down for a total of 8 days and remained a daily driver during the week, between each weekends work. It's amazing what we got done each weekend but we also did it in a Commercial Machine & Fab shop, so we had lathes, mills, racks of steel material etc. It was actually double the 96 hours because there was two of us, we don't take breaks much and we were each doing something different at least half of the time. Countless other things have been upgraded as well. Next month is AMP steps, rebuild/re-gear both diffs with 4:10's, new friction material in the back and a 35 spline Detroit TrueTrac up front with Yukon CAD delete axles (both sides). It's my wife's truck and we've pretty much just driven it for the last 13 years. She says she'll never part with it so now I'm renewing/upgrading just about everything for way less than a new truck and it's actually really fun to drive. We have my 4th Gen for towing/hauling.

I just got this 01 Sport SLT 2500 HO 6 speed with an Industrial Injection VP pump, Airdog 165 lift pump filtration system, 4" exhaust system, S&B air filter system, AFE intake horn, and Edge Juice with Attitude tuner. 

 

The first few pictures of it are when I bought it 12 days ago. The last couple pictures of of how it is now with my Reunel winch bumper, 12k# winch, and LED cab lights. Next will be a black non sport grille.

My 99 before and after the new flatbed.

My 99 before and after the new flatbed

I like flatbeds but I also like my topper, this way I can have things stored in there in trips. My box is slowly rotting away, I'm thinking of flatbed that I can put some sort of topper on.

There are advantages to both for sure. My daily driver has a topper and it’s nice for keeping things locked up and dry. I have to haul all the potable water to my house so the flatbed is much more convenient for putting the tank on the truck and getting it off. One nice thing about the flatbed is the inability to put random nonsense on it and carry it around for months at a time.
