I Bought a $45,000 Upgrade For My Truck!

The crate is open, the suspension parts are spread out, and Cleetus McFarland's crew has some reading to do. The installation manual runs to hundreds of pages. Buying the truck upgrade was the straightforward part.

His new upload has drawn about 752,000 views since yesterday. Behind the title, "I Bought a $45,000 Upgrade For My Truck!", is a hydraulic Any Level Lift kit that Cleetus says the team will install at McFarland Racing. It can take the truck from factory height to a thirteen-inch lift, he explains.

This is an unboxing, not a finished-build reveal. The crew breaks down the wooden crate and examines the suspension components, King shocks and custom mounting plates. A visiting friend gets a look at the hardware, with the substantial instruction manual supplying another subject for shop-floor jokes.

The video also announces a vehicle giveaway and spends a substantial early section showcasing merchandise tied to it. The Ford F-450, Cleetus's personal Corvette ZR1 and a tilt-deck trailer are presented as part of that package.

But an ordinary passenger concern cuts through all the expensive machinery: should the truck get its back seats back? Jackstand Jimmy favors a sound-system arrangement that preserves seating. Several commenters take his side, pointing out that a truck can carry passengers as well as subwoofers.
