Black community driving lifting trucks is a good thing. This country is all about learning from one another and appreciate each one’s style. Nice clean truck. 👍
Growing up in the south I always had good friends that were black who loved the car/truck scene growing up. Talking wheels, stereos speakers, exhaust, lights etc. We all went to car/truck shows and used to chill in grocery store parking lots via high school/college parking lot pimpin!
Why does everything have to be about race nowadays a truck is a truck a lift is a lift black white Mexican green purple and alien I don’t care. Nothing has to be set to a certain group that goes for everything. It’s called human nature not race. But anyways, you look good with it it fits you.
Lol the “not expecting me to get out the truck” is spot on. I get stares and double takes daily when I get out of mine lol. Also the police attention definitely slack up
Haha thanks man! I really appreciate that. And I know it’s not all of the more “seasoned” people who don’t like lifted trucks lol. Still some like yourself who love it. Thanks for watching!
Man, you are spot on. Especially talking about your he older generation; my Dad was like why are you ruining your truck. I also get looks when I get out of my truck, but I also got looks when my previous truck was lowered 🤷🏾♂️! Keep the video’s coming, I appreciate the content.
I'm Vietnamese and I drive a 6" off-road lifted truck. People don't expect someone like me to get out of a big truck but they are not surprise. Vietnamese people have big heart and an even bigger drive.
I’m 17 fresh out of highschool saving for a truck. As soon as I get it I’m gunnu get it lifted maybe 4-6 inches I haven’t decided yet. This is a great video for me lol.
EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING you said is ABSOLUTELY true. Especially the part about folks not expecting me to step out of my truck. I have had police to wait for me in the parking lot to see who was driving. As soon as they see me and especially if I see them looking at my truck they pull up or roll down the window to start truck talk. Lol. Now for the little man complex thing that people say I don’t get that part because I’m 6’4 230 lol. I also catch people taking pics or posing for pics around my truck. Lmao. I was sitting in it one day at Walmart and a young dude and his girlfriend were taking pics of him posing. When I let the window down it scared the ……. Out of them. We had a laugh and I told him it was cool. 👍🏾😂🏆
Haha man those are all some cool stories man. Back when I had my motorcycle I went to dealer to pick it up. Two motorcycle cops were there and they were just staring at my truck. I thought they were about to get me for tint. When I get out he goes “you probably wonder why This cop is staring at me, he says that’s the most beautiful truck I’ve ever seen” 😂 I was definitely about to ish myself lol.
I'm 5'9 Vietnamese, and I'm tougher than any big lad. Even chase a group of thugs from looting a store. Lost count of how many times I piss off cops even though I was in the wrong. They never bother me though. This was before I even had a truck, much less lifted. Had an RV prior. I spent at least 25% of my drive off-road so a lifted truck was needed, especially in the Oregon mountain.
I just bought a black f150 with a 6inch lift mabye 2 weeks ago. I can’t even tell you the amount of times other lifted trucks have pulled up to me and tried to race, it’s crazy
I am 56 and I drive 2004 f150 with a 8” lift, 37” tires with a nice sound system , I also drive a 63” chevy Impala with hydros…….😂😂😂 and a 2021 gladiator with 6” lift , 37” tires so I just drive what ever I like,, live and let live brother,,, keep trucking brother..
Really like your videos man. You do you and what makes you happy. F what everyone else thinks or expects when you get out. Beautiful truck. Just bought mine and already had a 6" lift so I'm continuing to learn about it. Looking forward to following your content
@@KickinItWithQ thank you sir. Happy to be a part of it. My son thinks daddy drives a monster truck now and it's the coolest thing. I'll take his laugh and happiness from a car seat and the payments don't mean a thing
You forgot to mention the hate on the road with people constantly cutting you off or not letting you merge. A lot more hate from the general public when you have a lifted truck. Then there are the people that start a conversation every time you stop somewhere. As a 17 year old female, I can say I don't think they expect me to get out of my 6" lifted tundra either.
Nice!!! Def not expecting you I’m sure lol. He knows it too great points as well I actually have a video that I’m debating on dropping about driving in traffic in a little truck lol. I appreciate you watching
Same with me dawg! You should see the looks I get, they’re like that’s your truck?! Lol Also the looks when my windows are down and The Brothers Johnson are playing on my radio.
It’s dope to find a black man into the lifted trucks, I went to school in Georgia so i fell in love with lifted trucks and muddin and all that. I’m about to get a ranger and I’ve been excited about everything I’m about to do to it
I just found your channel. I'm a brother and I own a lifted 2014 Ram 1500 you said the same thing I was thinking when I bought my truck. I also own a 2nd Gen Ram 2500 . It's just sitting in my driveway as I replace the dash. and don't have a lot of time to Work on it and can't stop people from asking if it's for sale. Great to see another brother. I'm subscribing.
lol yea bro they don’t be expecting us and you having two definitely not expected 😂 ! Many them diesels are special trucks! Everyone wants one. I def do. I appreciate the sub and COMING TO KICKINITWITHQ!!!! 💯💯
@@KickinItWithQ I'm trying to find the courage to get my own channel started. I've got some of the equipment I'll probably use my phone to start. If you know anything about 2nd Gen Ram's you know the dashboard was trash. I've already gotten the new one in just reconnecting wire's and trying to reinstall the correct screw's back in place. Spent the day painting the frame on my 2nd Gen it will be the focus of my channel if I ever just jump in.
Nice truck. Very clean. Screw people and their opinions. Lifted trucks are great in traffic because you can see over the vehicle in front of you and you just have a better view and can see all around you so much better. I’m only 5’7 but driving lifted trucks is not compensating for me. My friend that got me into lifted trucks when I was in high schools is 6’4. I just like big trucks.
yessir I have a 2018 gmc with 8in lift on 22x35 its definitely a unexpected looker when I hop out. but I work hard and I love trucks. and yeah cops never look at me
This is funny, just got my 1st lifted truck last week and im mexican. All custom from the dealership, man do I get looks from other big truck people. The best part is that people move out of the way and don't ride up on me. Good video
As a black truck driver who is used to sitting higher up and having that bigger field of view looking out the windshield on a daily basis. I don’t see any other option besides a lifted truck for my daily driver. I feel super small and cramped driving anything else and being low to the road is really abnormal for me at this point. 🤷🏾♂️
Good stuff! Just got my Silverado lifted today. Not even sure if it qualifies as lifted I went with the 4 inch SST kit. It felt like every truck I passed on the way home had 12 wides and a 9 inch lift 🤦🏾♂️
@@KickinItWithQ thanks man! My son loves it and I can still fit in my driveway. I’m documenting the journey. I got the stock video up now, I’ll get around to making the after video soon!
Definitely agree with the "white boy truck" stereotype. I drive a firetruck red jeep with a 4-inch lift, ATR tires, black accents, -30% tint, muffler delete, & I'm a 5'7" black girl. Saying people are surprised is an understatement😂 But at the same time, let's be honest, "white boy truck" IS a look/style. When you hear the term, you already have a mental image. When I see one, I just know in my soul it's a white boy🤣
People have been lifting trucks since the 1970’s. I had a lifted truck in the 80’s 18” lift and 44” Hawgs. It was very common. Today the lifts are smaller. But it’s a lot of fun.
Everything you said is truth! I got a 2021 F150 4X4 5.0 V8 crew cab with 6 inch lift in antimatter blue color. Draws a lot of attention, especially from other trucks that aren't as nice thinking they got somethin to prove haha jealousy I guess. Couple times I've engaged and smok'em, but most of the time I ignore them and get a good laugh out of them being jealous and butt hurt. When I bought the truck I never thought people would act the way they do, but whatever. Also, it's true about the police as I get zero attention from them.
Absolutely man the people watching is definitely a cool feeling on that. You have a nice truck and it’s always a plus that the cops don’t bother, right
I'm an older dude (60) and Love lifted trucks, and will own one till I can't climb up in it anymore 😁 I Love my beautiful, 2020 F250 power stroke, with BDS 6inch lift on 37's, with Amp Research power steps of course! ✊
I just put a 2.5 inch lift on my truck and I'm getting big rims. The truck is going to sit 6 inches higher than it does rn. I can't wait. This is the PERFECT video. I'm 6'7" so I'm not worried about getting in/out of my truck
No doubt you are spot on and so many stereotypes for so many different vehicles whether it is a dropped truck or car, a corvette(someone in midlife crisis), older hot rot, etc. Do not matter if you like it then that is what matters. I love lifted trucks and yours is awesome my friend. Absolutely love the whole setup, the lift, wheels, etc. Way to go.
LOL you are speaking truth today. I have two lifted trucks. I have a Yukon that's lifted and I have a new Silverado that's lifted 7 inches. I always get attention! Especially when Im pulling my boat, Jet ski, or dirt bikes, because those things we typically aren't into. I will say it is an Ice breaker and people feel comfortable to talk with you when they have things in common with you. I been invited to truck shows, fishing trips and trail riding for the dirt bikes. Then on the flip side of things, I have invited other black people to do those same things that have shown interest, so its a constant network for me.
Love the headbang! Lol my son and i do that on facetime;). I too get looks i drive a leveled sierra and ppl don’t except me to get out of truck lol and i live in maine lol
I just happened to come across your page and just wanted to let you know that you are a 100% correct on everything except for one the lifted truck. Having help get the females .That is a plus no matter how you look at it. I've accused of i'm getting a listed truck only for that reason. But they all smile at the end.😂
This is a very interesting video! I agree with the "brands" thing. That seems to be very important to a lot of people. Interesting about the police too...now that I think about it, I haven't been pulled over since I've had my truck either...
Yea man the more I have gotten into it the more it’s brought up. Lol im telling you cops don’t look at trucks bro lol. But im not going to complain lol
Lol, completely agree. I get the same response when I get out of my truck or people say that’s your truck. Yeah, I’m Asian and more funny is when my wife drives it. Now I’ve not had anyone discourage me from modifying, in fact my dad to Ford to my friends want to know what else is coming. You should come to Houston, people would appreciate your mods. Great video, love the content.
Yea man I usually get nice truck it’s just surprising to see that it’s me getting it lol. I’ve been to Houston 4x this year. I will say everyone rides big out there. 14wides is a must lol. Glad you enjoyed the video
My ford isn't lifted yet, but I do like the get out of my way point. I've had two people try to push me out of my lane cause they decide they want to cut me off or merge where I'm currently at. I simply don't move now, and when that happened they only go so far, then have to dive off into the shoulder or dirt. Makes me laugh. And same about cops. I speed a little when I had a japanese sports car im pulled over, I can go just as fast in a truck and they don't look my way.
Bro just want to say I love you videos I 24yr old black male form Los Angeles and I going to get me a lifted truck always have loved then and you make me want succeed at my goal of getting one.
Man, Q. You hit the nail on the head with this one. I personally experience everything you mentioned in this video. Especially other trucks zooming up from behind or slowing down from in front of me to speed match and gaze at my truck. lol!!! I thought I was trippin' when I kept noticing it, and now, Thanks to you, I see that I'm not the only one. As for older people not liking the look? Well, I live in the Cleveland Ohio area, and I get most of my compliments from older people. Women more so than men! 🤷🏾♂️ Great Video, Bro. Keep Up The Great Work. I Enjoy Your Content 👍🏾👍🏾 *
Glad you enjoyed the video man and found it relatable but yeah, I’ll get a lot of the truck stuff people zooming up or slowing down for sure! I appreciate you watching
Yea you’ll start to see most of same stuff after while but now with kits a lot of the budget friendly ones are become more popular ready lift, zone, rough country are priced well and good to get you started
Hahah trucks don’t intimidate me when I’m on the highway, they usually move out my way when they see me in their rear view with my vette, going 150 mph!!! Lol!!
SooooTrue...Other Truck Drivers do the Same to me..45 South Bound Galveston,lol 5:am Inn Mornings.Just got my 3" Lift and I love it..YES not as lifted as other Bigger trucks but I'm happy.True..True..TRUE on what u have to say bro..-FrankieB
She sure is pretty. I've got a 2018 Black Platinum w/ 6" and 35 x 22 with -44 offset. Makes me wanna add some accent color looking at your truck. Love the stance. I'm in SATX.
Well I'm almost 60 and I like your truck. My 20 20 is stock ride height... I like the look but I'm more into just driving it..... but you young. Build that bad boy the way you want... I built a bunch of mine back in the day... really enjoy your channel... and I'm a old white dude.
Yea I’m sure this is a phase I can’t imagine I’ll tolerate this later down the road. I appreciate you watching and 60 isn’t old lol. You still got some young blood in you
I can relate 100% to everything you said. My wife call me Red Neck or call my truck Monster truck. I am about to 50 years old man but I love my truck. I do get a lot of compliments from it. Getting use to driving it but I love it. Have thought about starting a group for Black People with lifted truck just like motorcycle club. I will surely be interested. I live in Brighton, MI
Man so when I visited Florida, I saw some bruhs with lifted trucks but they into the squatted trucks. All of them had the rear ends squatted down and the front end looking up. Nah that look is not for me though!
For me I have a full size truck and am somewhat short. I would never put a lift on my truck even though I like the way they look. Aggressive tires and maybe a leveling kit is good for me.
😂🤣 lmao bro that would be funny as hell to see you hoping out of red . Yea with the bikes, I noticed the more I got into it the more brand of products you ran mattered. Don’t understand why but it’s just one of those things
Great channel. I lifted my truck around the same time you did yours and I agree with pretty much everything you say except people do not get out of my way I actually have people cut me off on purpose. Tons of compliments at gas stations and yes they don't expect me getting out of the truck either. Love it though. I will never own another truck without lifting it
Some horn blasters might get them to move lol jk but you do have those people who don’t move or cut you off because you maybe bigger and slower. Yea the gas station talks are always fun. Thanks for watching!
Great video Q especially about when I get out the truck they don't expect to see me as well I look more like I'd be driving an 84 Cutlass supreme on daytons 🤣
Also im 58, alot think my truck is some young kids! Lol I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 6" lift 20+12.5+35s black wheels and tinted windows with a brow. Absolutely love it!!! PS; nice looking Ford ya have my friend
Cops really don’t look your way when I had my Chevy impala tinted windows, helo black gloss rims. Been pulled over 15 times in that car then when I got my truck haven’t been pulled over not once.
That is a clean looking truck🤙 I've always been a V8 man but I recently got rid of my 2020 f150 5.0 and got a 3.5 2021 and I can tell you I love it a lot better!
I used to have a lowered charger on 22s with tint and now I have a stock height(for now) 2022 truck with tint and noticed cops don’t look my way unless I’m being reckless.
Your right about cops not messing with you when your in a truck. I had a Chevy Impala 2018 and I always had cops looking at my sh!t. I just turned it in and got a ram 1500 in red and now cops don’t even bother looking in my direction and I’m Mexican tatted up so it gotta be the truck🤣🙏🏽
People saying you can’t tow with a lifted F150 never drove an ecoboost haha. I’ve towed with my 15 2.7L ecoboost 1000+ miles with no issues running 4 inch lift and 35s. These trucks are beast!
@@KickinItWithQ The best response, We don't have square tire wells. 🤣🤣 Keep up the good work bro. Stay on your grind, stay focused and don't stop for anyone. Love your content.
I love that color of ur truck. Where I live, many of us truck guys get together and have truck meets. I did noticed that a lot of guys look at what suspension and wheel brand I got on lol But it’s all love man we just like to show and tell and sometimes show off lol
Great post! I don't get attention from the folks, so that won't be an issue with me. I got my eye on a lifted 2015 GMC Kodiac Sierra with only 52k miles, and I don't know lifted trucks, but I'm on a mission to learn enough to know what's going on, so I can deal with issues or even better.. I'll learn to maintain it so I won't have to. If it costs less, maybe I can buy a truck and hire someone to help me lift it🤔
You pretty much nailed it! Nope I hear ya and totally agree . maybe my age shows but instead of roll (which could be taken different ways,) how about cruise….
Super facts, I'm thinking of getting one soon, and traditionally, lift kits on trucks at least in the south are mainly white men segmented, young and old. I'm from Louisiana by the way. Great content!!!!
So i daily a lifted suv to my highschool and when I’m leaving the parking lot and I cant see small cars right in front of me its super sketchy sometimes
Q, you're dead on about older guys, lol. They hate big trucks with big wheels and low-profile tires instead of smaller wheels and big mud tires. I do love the looks I get riding around in my lifted f150.
Black community driving lifting trucks is a good thing. This country is all about learning from one another and appreciate each one’s style. Nice clean truck. 👍
Agreed! It’s good to have different perspectives

What you’re driving?
Facts!!!!!

I’m a 70 year old grandpa and I’m digging your truck! 👍

Your vehicle height also gives you an advantage over anyone creeping up.
Which increases safety and makes you a less likely target for crime.
Facts!! 💯
But not at the drive thru. You won't fit anyway!

I have a 2011 silverado short bed regular cab with a 6 inch bds lift and 35's
Nice!
Great video man. Very informative I just got a lifted vehicle myself
Glad you enjoyed the video, bro! Thanks for watching
thing is an absolute beauty, great build man!!
I appreciate that man. Thanks for watching.
What I noticed in my area alot of police drive pickups..I'm like is this official off duty rig.....esp lifted ones
I just bought me a 2010 f150 king ranch getting ready to put new tires and lift soon
Nice congrats bro! 🎉
Yeah I used to get crazy looks when I used to get out my 6 inch lifted jeep
😂😂
Grab the amp steps, helps with getting in and out
Say less
People have been lifting trucks since the 1970’s. I had a lifted truck in the 80’s 18” lift and 44” Hawgs. It was very common.
Today the lifts are smaller. But it’s a lot of fun.
Nice! Thanks for sharing that information
Everything you said is truth! I got a 2021 F150 4X4 5.0 V8 crew cab with 6 inch lift in antimatter blue color. Draws a lot of attention, especially from other trucks that aren't as nice thinking they got somethin to prove haha jealousy I guess. Couple times I've engaged and smok'em, but most of the time I ignore them and get a good laugh out of them being jealous and butt hurt. When I bought the truck I never thought people would act the way they do, but whatever. Also, it's true about the police as I get zero attention from them.
Absolutely man the people watching is definitely a cool feeling on that. You have a nice truck and it’s always a plus that the cops don’t bother, right
I'm an older dude (60) and Love lifted trucks, and will own one till I can't climb up in it anymore 😁 I Love my beautiful, 2020 F250 power stroke, with BDS 6inch lift on 37's, with Amp Research power steps of course! ✊
Sheesh that’s like my dream truck! lol! Nice truck man and I don’t 60 is old at all. Still got some juice left
I just put a 2.5 inch lift on my truck and I'm getting big rims. The truck is going to sit 6 inches higher than it does rn. I can't wait. This is the PERFECT video.
I'm 6'7" so I'm not worried about getting in/out of my truck
Nice bro! And glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching
Here in Memphis, the vehicle "jack'n" capitol of the world, you never hear of a lifted truck getting 'jacked (or shot at).
I never get bothered in mine
No doubt you are spot on and so many stereotypes for so many different vehicles whether it is a dropped truck or car, a corvette(someone in midlife crisis), older hot rot, etc. Do not matter if you like it then that is what matters. I love lifted trucks and yours is awesome my friend. Absolutely love the whole setup, the lift, wheels, etc. Way to go.
I agree with you man! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the words! 🤝💯
Could you do an overview video of your total mechanical fixes from they one
Like maintainence?
LOL you are speaking truth today. I have two lifted trucks. I have a Yukon that's lifted and I have a new Silverado that's lifted 7 inches. I always get attention! Especially when Im pulling my boat, Jet ski, or dirt bikes, because those things we typically aren't into. I will say it is an Ice breaker and people feel comfortable to talk with you when they have things in common with you. I been invited to truck shows, fishing trips and trail riding for the dirt bikes. Then on the flip side of things, I have invited other black people to do those same things that have shown interest, so its a constant network for me.
Exactly bro! Couldn’t have said it better
Love the headbang! Lol my son and i do that on facetime;). I too get looks i drive a leveled sierra and ppl don’t except me to get out of truck lol and i live in maine lol
lol 😂 that’s cool y’all do the head butt. It’s funny to always see people’s face
I just happened to come across your page and just wanted to let you know that you are a 100% correct on everything except for one the lifted truck. Having help get the females .That is a plus no matter how you look at it. I've accused of i'm getting a listed truck only for that reason. But they all smile at the end.😂
😂 yes especially here in Texas. They love a man in the truck.
This is a very interesting video! I agree with the "brands" thing. That seems to be very important to a lot of people. Interesting about the police too...now that I think about it, I haven't been pulled over since I've had my truck either...
Yea man the more I have gotten into it the more it’s brought up. Lol im telling you cops don’t look at trucks bro lol. But im not going to complain lol
Lol, completely agree. I get the same response when I get out of my truck or people say that’s your truck. Yeah, I’m Asian and more funny is when my wife drives it. Now I’ve not had anyone discourage me from modifying, in fact my dad to Ford to my friends want to know what else is coming. You should come to Houston, people would appreciate your mods.
Great video, love the content.
Yea man I usually get nice truck it’s just surprising to see that it’s me getting it lol. I’ve been to Houston 4x this year. I will say everyone rides big out there. 14wides is a must lol. Glad you enjoyed the video
My ford isn't lifted yet, but I do like the get out of my way point. I've had two people try to push me out of my lane cause they decide they want to cut me off or merge where I'm currently at. I simply don't move now, and when that happened they only go so far, then have to dive off into the shoulder or dirt. Makes me laugh. And same about cops. I speed a little when I had a japanese sports car im pulled over, I can go just as fast in a truck and they don't look my way.
Yep! My experience has been the same bro! It’s funny 😁. Guess I won’t complain about cops. I’ll just stay under the radar lol
Bro just want to say I love you videos I 24yr old black male form Los Angeles and I going to get me a lifted truck always have loved then and you make me want succeed at my goal of getting one.
I appreciate that bro! Means a lot! Ayee keep working bro and you’ll get it
Man, Q. You hit the nail on the head with this one. I personally experience everything you mentioned in this video.
Especially other trucks zooming up from behind or slowing down from in front of me to speed match and gaze at my truck. lol!!! I thought I was trippin' when I kept noticing it, and now, Thanks to you, I see that I'm not the only one.
As for older people not liking the look?
Well, I live in the Cleveland Ohio area, and I get most of my compliments from older people. Women more so than men! 🤷🏾♂️
Great Video, Bro. Keep Up The Great Work. I Enjoy Your Content 👍🏾👍🏾 *
Glad you enjoyed the video man and found it relatable but yeah, I’ll get a lot of the truck stuff people zooming up or slowing down for sure! I appreciate you watching
I just got a rc lift on mine so I’m at 6in on 35s and man everything you say is true.
Yea man! It’s crazy to see it
I want a 6” lift but they so expensive so when you said the ruck community is big on brands I kinda figured that everybody uses the same stuff
Yea you’ll start to see most of same stuff after while but now with kits a lot of the budget friendly ones are become more popular ready lift, zone, rough country are priced well and good to get you started
I'm 60 and drive a lifted silverado so not all old people don't like it lol. Nice truck man
Ayeee my man 🤟🏾
Brand thing so true… And I stay having other lifted/stock trucks tryna race my lil v6 🥺
Haha man all the time! Especially the Diesel guys for me
My grandpa loves my lifted platinum
Or jealous people talk shit about it saying it looks stupid or a waste of money...where in reality they're mad they don't have one.
Big facts it happens to me often…. About to throw a Zone 6 inch with fox 2.5 shocks they really gonna stare 😂
😂😂 oh yea they definitely go be like who that
They definitely don’t expect me to get out bro 😂😂🤟🏾
😂🤣 nope!
But on my brother. I’m a black officer in Illinois that drives a lifted black Ram with 12 G’s of upgrades spot on my brother!!!
Spot on , I have an eBay special lift if it fits it sits, but I will say this though get your differential regeard it does make a difference
Haha I like that saying. Yea I’m definitely considering it. Thanks for watching man!
Hahah trucks don’t intimidate me when I’m on the highway, they usually move out my way when they see me in their rear view with my vette, going 150 mph!!! Lol!!
😂😂
SooooTrue...Other Truck Drivers do the Same to me..45 South Bound Galveston,lol 5:am Inn Mornings.Just got my 3" Lift and I love it..YES not as lifted as other Bigger trucks but I'm happy.True..True..TRUE on what u have to say bro..-FrankieB
Glad you enjoyed the video bro! 🤝🏾
Good stuff man your funny as hell go get it and have fun man:} beautiful truck I am jealous you have it looking good.
😂😂 Thanks bro glad you enjoyed the video
She sure is pretty. I've got a 2018 Black Platinum w/ 6" and 35 x 22 with -44 offset. Makes me wanna add some accent color looking at your truck. Love the stance. I'm in SATX.
Thanks bro! I appreciate you watching! Nice setup btw. Texas in the building 🤟🏾
Well I'm almost 60 and I like your truck. My 20 20 is stock ride height... I like the look but I'm more into just driving it..... but you young. Build that bad boy the way you want... I built a bunch of mine back in the day... really enjoy your channel... and I'm a old white dude.
Yea I’m sure this is a phase I can’t imagine I’ll tolerate this later down the road. I appreciate you watching and 60 isn’t old lol. You still got some young blood in you
I can relate 100% to everything you said. My wife call me Red Neck or call my truck Monster truck. I am about to 50 years old man but I love my truck. I do get a lot of compliments from it. Getting use to driving it but I love it. Have thought about starting a group for Black People with lifted truck just like motorcycle club. I will surely be interested. I live in Brighton, MI
Haha yea I get that a lot too. Umm nah I haven’t since my supporters are all races and ethnicity
Man so when I visited Florida, I saw some bruhs with lifted trucks but they into the squatted trucks. All of them had the rear ends squatted down and the front end looking up. Nah that look is not for me though!
You’re right tho especially down here in Florida cops won’t mess you if you got a truck
It’s crazy bro but I’m not complaining
Great vid bro
Thanks boss! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
For me I have a full size truck and am somewhat short. I would never put a lift on my truck even though I like the way they look. Aggressive tires and maybe a leveling kit is good for me.
Yeah bro I understand that and actually that set up is really good looking
Oh my goodness. Not expecting me to jump out. Never even occurred to me! 🤪 beauty truck!
Hahaha defy not and I appreciate that!
Tuned in let’s goooooo
Can you imagine me driving red lol 😂
Then jumping out at the store lol 😂
lol 😂 this is hilarious man you talking facts
Aye they hang on brands with in the bike world as well
😂🤣 lmao bro that would be funny as hell to see you hoping out of red . Yea with the bikes, I noticed the more I got into it the more brand of products you ran mattered. Don’t understand why but it’s just one of those things
@@KickinItWithQ keep up what your doing man !!!!!! Sorry I’ve been back up here lately but I’m catching up lol
Great channel. I lifted my truck around the same time you did yours and I agree with pretty much everything you say except people do not get out of my way I actually have people cut me off on purpose. Tons of compliments at gas stations and yes they don't expect me getting out of the truck either. Love it though. I will never own another truck without lifting it
Some horn blasters might get them to move lol jk but you do have those people who don’t move or cut you off because you maybe bigger and slower. Yea the gas station talks are always fun. Thanks for watching!
This is how we do it,like Montel Jordan. Keep trucking brother. 👍
Hey thanks bro I appreciate you watch in
Great video Q especially about when I get out the truck they don't expect to see me as well I look more like I'd be driving an 84 Cutlass supreme on daytons 🤣
😂🤣🤣 lmao! I already know what you mean bro 😂
I love u truck brother! I am 55 and I will always use lifted truck … I am now 7.5 lift on mine
Also I do all the repairs to my truck and I installed my lift kit
Nice! Your still going my man and you are sitting tall! I love it! But I agree I may drive lifted trucks forever if I can.
That’s dope!! Sure that saves you some $$$
Also im 58, alot think my truck is some young kids! Lol I have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 with a 6" lift 20+12.5+35s black wheels and tinted windows with a brow. Absolutely love it!!! PS; nice looking Ford ya have my friend
Nice man! That is a classic setup!
In Texas it doesn’t matter who getting out the truck. We expect anyone
Haha I’m in Texas lol
Cops really don’t look your way when I had my Chevy impala tinted windows, helo black gloss rims. Been pulled over 15 times in that car then when I got my truck haven’t been pulled over not once.
😂😂
That is a clean looking truck🤙 I've always been a V8 man but I recently got rid of my 2020 f150 5.0 and got a 3.5 2021 and I can tell you I love it a lot better!
Thanks man! I love a good sounding V8 as well but the ecoboost performance is impressive!
Did you notice a power and weight difference when you put the 37x24 on it.
Oh yea! Truck definitely more sluggish and can feel the weight
Down here in Louisiana all races drive lifted.
The boot! And yes now you see it more in Dallas. This video was filmed 2 years ago
I used to have a lowered charger on 22s with tint and now I have a stock height(for now) 2022 truck with tint and noticed cops don’t look my way unless I’m being reckless.
Exactly! Perfect example
my truck is a 08 silverado ext 5.3 LT 4x4 , 6 inch lift on 20's running 33's People love my truck.....maybe more then i do sometimes lmao
Haha that’s always the case right LOL we see all the flaws but everyone else just sees a nice truck
Your right about cops not messing with you when your in a truck. I had a Chevy Impala 2018 and I always had cops looking at my sh!t. I just turned it in and got a ram 1500 in red and now cops don’t even bother looking in my direction and I’m Mexican tatted up so it gotta be the truck🤣🙏🏽
😂😂😂
People saying you can’t tow with a lifted F150 never drove an ecoboost haha. I’ve towed with my 15 2.7L ecoboost 1000+ miles with no issues running 4 inch lift and 35s. These trucks are beast!
Yea man these ecoboost engines are no joke! Performance is 💯💯
That’s a nice looking truck!
Thanks I appreciate it, bro
I daily an Expedition, leveled on 35's and I draw a lot of attention. Mainly from my Chevy Brothers trying to figure out how I made them fit. 🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣 oh yea I got that question THE MOST! How did you get them to fit?
@@KickinItWithQ The best response, We don't have square tire wells. 🤣🤣
Keep up the good work bro. Stay on your grind, stay focused and don't stop for anyone.
Love your content.
😂 facts! I hear Chevys have a pain with them Wheel wells. I appreciate the words man and for watching the video 💪🏾
I love that color of ur truck. Where I live, many of us truck guys get together and have truck meets. I did noticed that a lot of guys look at what suspension and wheel brand I got on lol
But it’s all love man we just like to show and tell and sometimes show off lol
Thanks my guy! It’s everyone favorite thing about the truck
Great post!
I don't get attention from the folks, so that won't be an issue with me.
I got my eye on a lifted 2015 GMC Kodiac Sierra with only 52k miles, and I don't know lifted trucks, but I'm on a mission to learn enough to know what's going on, so I can deal with issues
or even better..
I'll learn to maintain it so I won't have to.
If it costs less, maybe I can buy a truck and hire someone to help me lift it🤔
Q keeping it real!!! True that!
Hey man just sharing my experience Ya know lol! No hate just telling it how it is lol
If you are ever in WA state -Vancouver area , I’ll roll with ya..
You pretty much nailed it! Nope I hear ya and totally agree . maybe my age shows but instead of roll (which could be taken different ways,) how about cruise….
@@cowboy-wr5jt 💪🏾💪🏾
😂 All good man i knew what you meant but good catch lol
Super facts, I'm thinking of getting one soon, and traditionally, lift kits on trucks at least in the south are mainly white men segmented, young and old. I'm from Louisiana by the way. Great content!!!!
Yep correct. Oh I went to school in Lafayette played for the Cajuns
@@KickinItWithQ kool, I went to Grambling.
@@TAILNUPE06 cool cool
So i daily a lifted suv to my highschool and when I’m leaving the parking lot and I cant see small cars right in front of me its super sketchy sometimes
Lol sheesh you up there!
Q, you're dead on about older guys, lol. They hate big trucks with big wheels and low-profile tires instead of smaller wheels and big mud tires. I do love the looks I get riding around in my lifted f150.
Yep they always say rubber bands tires and you can’t take it off road lol
Beautiful truck!
Thanks man!
@@KickinItWithQ The color is awesome, did it come stock like that or did you have a paint job?
@Mkvine it’s stock ford called it ruby red
I love it man, respect 🙏.
Thanks bro
this was a perfect video dude!
I appreciate that man! Definitely thanks for watching the video
Agreed!!!👍🏾
