It might be a case of you get what you pay for.

Lambo doors?

The kit is well designed and the only problem I had was I needed the heavier duty shock, which LSD sent at no charge. As stated earlier...don't buy some cheap kit off of ebay or from a place called scissor door.com, a company out of Canada. I'm a short stocky/fat guy and have no issues getting in or out of the truck.

Here is LSD's website...

Here is a pic of the kit...

It just looks like there is no room to get into the truck with those doors compared to a standard opening door. Also it looks like the rear doors would hit the front doors when opened all the way.

Plenty of room to get in for me and I'm a heavy guy. Also, the rear doors don't even come close to touching the front, you can walk in between the doors.

Yes, some people don't care for them, but a lot do. I got them because I show the truck, it is not a daily driver.

I want to suicide the rear in the next year or so


Thanks for posting up Kyle


EDIT: one other thing, Kyle was also correct in saying that you get what you pay for.....don't buy something cheap, you will have problems!!!

GATOR, those doors on your truck look really awesome... It's the first time I've seen them on a lifted truck... Although I have seen them on several lowered street machines... Your look is much better...
