best one ive seen is a s-10 with like 14" body lift i think it was. he used 1" square tube like every 3-4feet welded to the frame. had like 40" tires. the engine was pretty much sat below the body. thankfully that weekend he broke something the first couple hours he was there and could not drive it no more... thankfully

Take a look at this beefy tongue on this home made trailer.

You have to squint really hard.

Hard to tell, though I am sure he used high quality grade2 1/4" bolts.

I don't think 'show truck' is any excuse to lift improperly and hack. The owners of those trucks should be embarassed.

Okay, this one caught my eye because the BII is lifted more then most full sized trucks, it is running 33s. I knew it had to be good, when I saw the seller say the front driveshaft isn't connected (doesnt that make it a 2x4?).

Check out the front end and the snazzy sway bar links and how they are attached. Then check the pitman arm.

Some mechanics? believe in hammer, acetylene torch and welder
Those fab up u-bolts wont hold up under off roading or tire burn out conditions.

Hey now, just because you weren't born and raised in Texas doesn't mean you have to get all defensive...

We accept people from outside of this GREAT state for who they are, even if they are a lesser being than the lowest of our Texan lows...
