or D, as soon as the tires hit the mud, that high class body lift will shear off and launch the body into the mud like it was a boat being christened.

If I had to guess on the body he stacked two 3" kits, but who knows where he got bolts that long.

Hey there's always this option:

Now thats a good lift! 4X6's are sturdy and bolted on with lag bolts! I bet this lift would only run $20 in installed! And for you mud guys just swap the 4X6's for treatred ones!

Again i say smack his mom. Window lickers like that are why off road trucks have a bad name. They should crush that thing like they did that Honda in Florida.

Is that a wheel chock or did one of the lift blocks fall out? I guess he spent all his money on those bogger stickers and couldnt afford the real thing.

Ghunt,

The straps are a nice touch. Makes it easy to put back together when it teeters apart.

Well, I wasn't going to add onto this topic because I had nothing good to say, but, what can you say about a Bronco II with 2 1/2 axles and a 3" body lift ....

#220192493137

You know it always starts with the 3" bodylift



Then it is the steering



Who needs vacuum advance when you have a 125 HP shot of NOS!




Better hurry up before someone meets the $15,000 reserve
