The rear axle on this truck hate's its owner and will probably be ending the relationship soon.

The independent front suspension on this truck hates its owner so much that it is currently planning a murder/suicide mission that is set to take place next Thursday over the first pothole or imperfection in the highway.

okay, first off, if your lifting a truck that high, its probably not for the off road world, but for looks, so enough with everyone saying o man! i bet he replaces his ball joints every other week and damn its to gay to be that high blah blah blah. people lift trucks for different reasons not for only muddin. for street driving im sure his axles dont hate him, if he wheels with it, then yeah they probably do.

also if your going to lift a truck that high your probably not worried about lift laws. i know my truck is going to e illegal hieght and i really could care less i want it big so im making it big. end of story.

cool truck.

Lift laws in Georgia and Alabama some of us states down here, are high, but most cops don't care enough to even bother you unless you are loud!

I agree man. Not sure what is up with all the hate. I love all trucks no matter who makes them.

I know over 3 people with trucks sitting on lifts from 14-22 inches. Over the 6 years they have had the trucks not one has had to replace a ball joint or tie-rod. These trucks are all driven over a twisty 30 mile mountain highway that beats them to crud. One truck has over 165K miles on 39s and is still going strong.

I just have to laugh about all the bench racers sometimes.

not my thing.

Congrats on making the truck totally useless and more prone to damage.

(reliability reduced, payload reduced, towing a trailer is going to be more diffucult, crappier ride, harder to get in/out, less gas mileage, slower acceleration, and it doesn't look all that great IMO)

that is pretty nice. I just cant get over not liking rockstars... they have no dish whatso ever, and slapped on big a$$ tires like that it looks out of place to me... Now some deep dish rims with those big tires would look good!

Which is why anything larger than 35-37" tires is just silly on an IFS.

All show and no go? I'm not sure what a "bench racer" is, but I like my trucks to perform on and off road. Big lifts even with crappy running gear still turn my head every time though. No sense name calling and getting in pissing contests over the use of our trucks.

I too like the looks of really tall trucks, but the reality of physics are not going to care if he goes off road or not... Is it possible that he drives it 200k miles without a single issue? Sure. But with an extra 60 pounds worth of tire on each corner, and the added leverage ratio that their height, width and weight add to the equation it is pretty likely that parts are going to wear in short order. But there again, it is his/her choice and preferance to ride that much lift. I would rock something like that if money allowed.
