Lets help out the new guys.
Ok, well after reading a post stating that hockey puck body lifts were acceptable. It made me think, how fast this has gone down hill.
SO lets make a list of HORRIBLE and absolultely RETARTED ideas.
1. Hockey Puck body lifts.
Body lifts are dangerous enought, when youve got some hockey pucks with hole's drilled in them supporting the weight and loads of a truck body, bad things WILL happen. So if sliding down a hill with the chassis of your truck chasing you then shortly after runnin you over sounds like fun. Please use hockey pucks to lift your truck
2. Stacking lift blocks.
Axle wrap good enough for you? Now you want one of your blocks to fly out and kill some one, while your axle very quickly detaches it self from your truck, then running over even more people? Awesome, i suggest combining this with number 1 for even more carnage and mutilation!
thats all im gunna put for now, anybody got anything to add?

3. Coil spring spacers.
Don't do it! Quite being a cheap skate and just buy taller springs. Spring spacers are not strong and break easily. Especially when guys modify the lower coil bucket by, say, welding a piece of pipe to it, and then using a grade 5 bolt as the extension!

bwahahahahaha.... totally forgot about rebar anything..
Rebar has NO i repeat NO use anywhere on a truck... Ok i take that back, if you wanna weld a bunch of it together then to a plate as a traction aid for the bed, but other than that. NO!
