Lifted trucks can be good for working too. I have a lifted f-350 which is totally a work vehicle. Try carrying 3000lbs of gravel over rough off road terrain with out a lift kit. The only other way to do that is with a tractor which is even more expensive then the truck.
I've been wanting to get a lift kit for my ford ranger because the dirt road i live on floods almost monthly, and i can barely clear it with my current setup.
Thats a hell of a lot flooding. Would over sized tires work? they would provide some extra lift and be wider so less danger of getting caught in a current.
I've got oversized tires on right now. The flooding is mostly because the riverbank is higher than the road itself. River was lower when the road used to be a designated logging road, but a dam was put in place and diverted a lot of the water into the stream. Its not overwhelming for the truck itself, but i err on the side of caution to begin with.
