Dam if they were made of steel or aluminum it wouldn't be very bright either.

8 Inches?!?!?!?! wow.

Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.

WOW this place is going downhill quick.
Arguing about hockey pucks being used as a body lift. Holy ****....How stupid can you be?? If you had half a brain you would realize this is not a good idea. If you think this is a good idea you need to sell whatever truck you have or are working on and give up at life.
But if you do use them good luck. They might work for a little bit on the road, but when you go off road, you better take some ratchet straps and strap your body to your frame. You know what, It might work better if you heat em up and melt them all together. Then they will be REAL strong.

Dumb ****

OK Tinian, thank you for sharing your tech expertise! Now please be aware that that going downhill was our objective. On other days, we have other objectives. Perhaps you can stop by to help us reach those objectives... ?

once again more ignorance. making sacrasm with no education makes only you and your supporters look stupid. did you guys know that all stepside ford trucks up until 1980 have wood bed mount block sets, (box to frame mounts) from factory. and i have not phoned lmctruck on this yet but am pretty sure there bed mount block set repacements are still wood. so now how bad does rubber look compared too wood? that was some ones idea who makes way more money than us and isnt a part of FTE. call him stupid please. you insult him you insult ford. hahaha

Cement would be nice, but silicone filled cans would flex better.
