And im sure we could even muster up some video some how to show it in action, thus proving that fact that it does get "wheeled."

Im not just some punk pulling stories out his a$$, and i will prove it to anyone who doubts me.

just because its grade 8 dont mean a damn thing. when you stress the entire truck past what its built for i dont care if its welded by the best damn welder in the world its gonna break. metal is not industructable. it can and will fatigue over a point of time. this is what we are trying to say yeah it might work for afew weeks but in the end it will break and its going to be going down the street. the 3 inch body lift aint what everyone is worried about its the 8 inch lift and 40 ich tires on an axle that isnt capiable of holding it much less stopping it. the street is much harder on something like this then a mild trail most of the time. think of it like this: your puttin down the trail at 15mph and hit a bump and slide on the loose dirt no big deal. but say your doin 70 down the highway and hit a bump the truck jumps and when you slam back down theres no give in pavement and something snaps. which one you think is gonna be worse.

sorry for the long post but there is nothing safe about this
