bye bye system hello lift kit

Bye bye system, as u all know [or should] florida came out with the 25 foot law, which means if a cop here's u from at least 25 feet away u get a $80 ticket. Well i stupidly bought a very expensive system 1 week before the law thinking it won't be taken serious. Well the cops do take it serious and i have to date 16 tickets each $80 each, so i went beck to my dealer and said take it all out and give me my money back [or some of it] and they did $8,000 of the 12,000 so it's all gone and i couldn't be happier. The people who saw my mudding pics will know i have a new love which is muddin and the 8 g's will be spent on a 6 inch fabetch + body lift + add a leaf + 38 inch tires or a 14 inch full throttle suspension lift + body lift + 44 inch swampers haven't decided yet. Still want drive ability but also want a kicka** muddin truck of course a winch and gears will be bought so if anyone is runing a 10 inch lift or more please give info.

$8000 should be enough to do gears as well!

Sooooo... why don't you just lay on the sound deadening stuff and keep the windows up? No reason why you should be racking up tickets, unless you are one of those that jam full blast with the windows down... well they you dzerved all those tickets.

Copy my truck, you'll be happy

6" + 3" + add-a-leaf + 37's = fun
that stupied CST lift is junk and barely gets you 6+ inches. don't waste your money.

I just bought some 56" mudders. There pretty cool. I just use a 26" body lift. I mean considering how wide these bad boys are and how tall they are a body lift was the best thing. I'm still getting the rockwells chromed they will be in soon.

The best thing is, is that I don't have ANY, I mean any rub from lock to lock. My wife was none too happy about the additional 4 steps she has to make to get in the cab but she will get over it. Thank god I planned ahead and put 20' doors in my garage.
