Fire Engineering Training Community

Where firefighters come to talk training

There have been alot of issues of the F550's getting stuck. We seemed to have solved this problem for the most part. We put a 2" suspension lift on the truck. We did not go with a higher suspension lift so we could keep the center of gravity to a minimum. We installed a 3" body lift on the cab. We increased the horse power slighlty, the truck is a diesel. We put 20" wheels and 40" Continental MPT 80 22 Ply tires. If the mud has a bottom to it, we can go through it. This may not work for everyone but it has worked well for us.
