Vic's 2024 Ford

F-450 Platinum

At Lakeview Automotive, we’ve built some wild cars, but Vic’s 2024 Ford F-450 Platinum takes our truck game to an entirely new level. This isn’t just a lifted truck—it’s an engineering masterpiece, blending serious diesel work truck capability with show-stopping presence. Featuring the AnyLevel Lift system, 24” KG1 Forged Trident dually wheels wrapped in 40” Nitto Trail Grapplers, Baja Designs auxiliary lighting, and meticulous craftsmanship, this build is as functional as it is striking.

And make no mistake—this isn’t just for show. Vic is putting this truck to work every day on the roads of Saskatchewan.

Raptor F-150 Upgrades

A breakdown of Vic's 2024 Ford

F-450 Dually

The AnyLevel Lift

Traditional lift kits lock you into a fixed height, often sacrificing ride quality, steering geometry, and towing capability. The AnyLevel Lift system changes the game. This fully hydraulic, electronically controlled suspension allows Vic’s F-450 to adjust from stock height to an incredible 13 inches of lift—on demand.

How It Works

Unlike conventional lifts, the AnyLevel system is designed with:

  • Hydraulic Actuators – Replace standard coil springs, allowing for seamless height adjustments without affecting wheel travel or ride quality.
  • Patented Panhard & Steering Mechanisms – Maintain proper axle alignment and steering geometry at all heights, eliminating common issues found in traditional lift kits.
  • Independent Front & Rear Adjustment – Allows for precise stance control—lower the rear for towing stability, level it out for highway driving, or raise it all the way up for max clearance and presence.
  • Factory Integration – The lift system works directly with Ford’s factory sensors and suspension components, meaning no compromise in drivability.

Why It’s a Game-Changer

  • Adjustable height on demand – Lower it for easy access or raise it to full height for the ultimate stance.
  • Full towing & hauling capability – Unlike traditional lifts, this system keeps the truck level while towing for maximum stability.
  • Maintains factory ride quality – No bouncy, stiff suspension—ride comfort remains consistent at any height.

This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a complete transformation in how a heavy-duty truck performs, handles, and functions.

24” KG1 Forged Trident Dually Wheels & 40” Nitto Trail Grapplers

With a lift this advanced, Vic needed wheels and tires that matched its engineering and presence—enter the 24” KG1 Forged Trident dually wheels wrapped in 40” Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Unlike cast wheels, forged wheels undergo extreme pressure shaping, refining their metal grain structure for unparalleled strength and weight reduction.

Why Forged Wheels Matter:

  • Strength & Durability – The forging process produces wheels up to 30% stronger than cast wheels, resisting cracks and bends under heavy loads.
  • Weight Reduction – Lighter than cast wheels, reducing unsprung weight, improving handling and acceleration.
  • Increased Load Capacity – Designed for extreme-duty trucks, forged wheels provide superior towing and off-road durability.
  • Paired with the 40” Nitto Trail Grapplers, this setup isn’t just for looks—it’s built to perform in any terrain, from highways to mud, snow, and off-road trails.

And to add a touch of style? Floating center caps. No matter how fast Vic rolls, the KG1 logos stay perfectly upright, making sure this truck looks as smooth as it rides.

HornBlasters Train Horn Kit

A truck this big needs a sound to match its presence—so we installed a HornBlasters train horn kit. When Vic rolls up, you’ll hear it before you see it. Why Hornblasters? Honestly why not.

  • Ear-Piercing Volume – Modeled after real locomotive horns, this setup demands attention.
  • Complete Air System – With an air tank, compressor, and premium hardware, this kit delivers instant, high-pressure blasts.
  • Built for All Conditions – Whether it's -30°C in Saskatchewan or mid-summer heat, this setup is designed for reliable, all-season operation.

This truck doesn’t just look good. It sounds like it means business.

Baja Designs Front & Rear Auxiliary Lighting

A truck of this size and capability needs serious lighting, and Baja Designs delivers industry-leading performance for both function and style.

  • Front Baja Designs LED Pods Fog light pods mounted in the front bumper provide improved visibility in fog, rain, and snow.
  • Baja Designs Front Light Bar – A high-output LED light bar ensures maximum visibility on dark highways and off-road trails, cutting through low-light conditions with ease.
  • Rear Baja Designs LED Pods Mounted at the rear, these pods light up the area behind the truck, perfect for loading, towing, or backing up in dark conditions.

This setup isn’t just about looks—it enhances safety and functionality, allowing for clear vision in any condition while adding an aggressive finishing touch to the build.

The Results: Why Choose Lakeview Automotive?

Vic’s 2024 F-450 Platinum is one of the most intricate and capable builds to roll through Lakeview Automotive—and it’s no show truck. With a fully adjustable AnyLevel Lift, 24” KG1 Forged Trident dually wheels wrapped in 40” Nitto Trail Grapplers, Baja Designs auxiliary lighting, and a HornBlasters train horn kit, this truck is built for serious work and daily driving on Saskatchewan roads.

And the real MVP? Adam, who put in the hours and tackled this entire build solo—from the lift to the wiring and finishing touches. No shortcuts, no compromises, just precision and dedication.

Another Lakeview-built monster hitting the road and turning heads—just the way we like it.
