Go diesel, the motor will probably last longer and there are after market turbo kits readily available.

Good example of what's about though. I take it all back. :oops:
actually looking at that ad, it doesnt look anywhere near 7inches all up of lift to me, unless its sagged 3inches.. also mentioning it as an AWESOME BEACH truck would worry me... how long till it rusts out...
