If you are going to get a long traveled truck... there isn't much better than 1996 or prior F-150 ... they have Twin I-beams you can beat the ever loving shit out of them. The only thing is that they have funny travel geometry and if you don't build them up right you can snap a hub, spindle, or a multitude of other things. Limiter straps will be your best friend. In short... Get a 1996 or earlier F-150 if you want to have a long traveled truck that the suspension is beefy as hell on. Most of them are ugly as sin but who cares. The beams are made out of ductile Iron... they are indestructible.

By the way that red one if fubar to the extreme. I wouldn't drive that thing out of the driveway.

Oh and to the first post... Dakotas are a bitch to long travel just like s-10/sonomas. Very very short arms in the front, not good for lifted suspension geometry. Stay with an F-150, Ranger, or a Tacoma. Half ton chevys aren't bad either but their control arms aren't quite long enough. Tacomas are very spendy most of the time though.
