I'm surprised the cab even stayed on the frame with that stacked body lift.

that looked like a pretty good rollover. i wouldnt be questioning why the cab moved some. it's obvious why the cab moved, it took a serious impact. i doubt that would look too much different without the bodylift.

Looks like the guy had two 3" pucks stacked atop one another, i'd say that had a LOT to do with the cab seperation.

It's difficult to tell where the point of impact is... The bumper is still intact... The left-front quarter seems to have taken the brunt of the impact - and if it was more of side impact, that may help explain why the airbag didn't deploy... Not only did the cab separate, but it kinda looks like it's 'spun', or twisted around from it's original position - the front of the cab looks to still be mostly in position... I'm also guessing the door came open as it was rolling which is why it's folded over the way it is...

That had to hurt...

well first off he's ok, survived somehow with just a broken ankle. lookingat the truck you can see he should be dead or at least in the hospitole.. also it blew the hwhole cab off the chassis i think the 3" body lift is to blame for that..

he is gonna fix it thou.. suprising the frame is perfect yet so he is gonna get another truck and re-body it since he already has so much in the drivetrain of this one.

Where do you see two pucks stacked, in the one picture which is the only showing the body mounts I see a 3 inch puck and then the bushing.
