Gotta disagree with you there! The truck is "obviosuly" for show, and as such, is a VERY USEFUL truck for this purpose! If you want people to look at you and your truck - this one will do it!

Ya goota admist, it's got the cool factor, fun factor and wow factor. Even if it is useless for hauling stuff in the box!

I feel sorry for that fellas wife/girlfriend. He is obviously lacking something in his pants!


I dont like it at all, its way to high, and unless you used it just for a show truck, it would be pretty useless on the road. Could you imagine getting a gust of wind in that thing while driving at 100 on the highway, it would damn near flip ya right over!

Umm, yeah. That's just stupid. I don't get show trucks at all really. A truck can look really good, but if you can't use it, there is no point. That's one of the things I really like about the diesel drag/pulling/dyno kings. Their trucks are usually their daily drivers/work trucks as well. Now THAT makes sense.

agreed with you dave. i like modified trucks, lifted trucks, lowered trucks, but not to the point where it takes away its ability to be used as a truck...

Yes, too much is sometimes just too much.

Like 30 inches of lift... ?

I think that's why it's referred to as 'too much'!

I'm hoping to put in 4" at some point. Just enough to clear the 37's I'm looking at. That makes sense to me.

I have thought about a 4 inch suspension lift too. It would give a guy alot of extra clearance, and the ability for larger tires.

So far I voted against it cause of the pheonminal fuel economy, and the fact that I personally dont need a lift on my daily driver.

Now if i had a 4x4 for bombing around the farm with...
