Good thing there are people like me in the world. I just stopped a kid from building/installing a "custom 8" body lift". hes already got 8" of suspension and 4" of body lift from the PO. Its a 3/4 ton, so I explained him how to properly fab up some leaf spring drop brackets and such. Hes not a dumb kid, just cheap and poor, lol.

I think 3256 is a classic for front stacked blocks, though I find 556 the scariest of them all.

Between the guy haveing his period on the floor, to the 14" (3 seperate)lift blocks on the front axle(I though that was illegal in all 50 states?),
For one time, I'd say I'd rather the solid 10" lift blocks, only to compare them to the 3 blocks stacked to get 10"s!
Bending leaf springs, huge rabits in the wrong spot on a 400lbs men....
Some of the trucks look like if they hit a speed bump going over 5mph, they'd loose both axles!
I'm cheap and poor, and some would call me dumb, but I still wouldn't do any of that.

The problem I have with 'show trucks' fabbed like that (#556 specifically) is that guys will see that stuff and think it's OK to do the same thing on their truck.
Thanks for the scare and the laughs Customz!

I am sorry but 556 is not even a decent show truck, first off he used square tubing for a block that is just plain tacky even if it wasn't dangerous, and having stacked blocks isn't going to win any shows, thats just a very bad job of trying to impress someone with a mall crawler that is probably worthless for even crawling the malls shopping for teenage girls.

WOW!
The only good thing that can come from those trucks is that every second their owners are in the drivers seat is one second closer to when they take themselves out of the gene pool.
