It is low.

It is also domestic rice, no matter what else he claims. You put air bags and carbon fibre on a vehicle, any vehicle, and you ghetto it instantly. Doesn't matter if its a Honda, a Ferrari, or an L.

If you like rice, fine, but I don't.

I also want to see the 12 second time slips on it, as 22" wheels have awesome wheel-spin properties...

Thumbs up

I think its bad a$$! I could do without the carbon fiber hood though. I am very curious about the suspension, although I do have some doubts about handling and ride.

Just ask HDMLNIUM about it being possible to run 12's or better on 22" wheels. It can be done... I have seen it with my own eyes...

Heh... of course I shoulda added "imho" to my statement... my opinion.

If you can run 12s on 22" rims, you have to wonder how fast the truck would be with a set of 16" Hoosiers... which; again imho here, is a much cooler look overall...

I think it loox pretty Ghettoooo. But whatever.

I don't know what the point of going that low is, considering the quality of the roads in Michigan.

It looks good without the wipers, but what happens when it rains?

I believe the air bags allow you to adjust the ride height to a reasonable level.

And FYI - Michigan roads are maintained (or not) as moonscapes to make slammers pay!

If you do any kind of major car shows then bagged,slammed and 22s is the norm.It was just a matter of time.I think it looks pretty cool.

If you see a Honda or a Mitsubishi with those nasty chrome rims and exaggerated drop.........what are you going to think? RICE!!!

But because it's a Lightning, many of you say it's NOT rice.........please explain the logic there..........That's bias no matter how you defend your position...

IMO, not that it matters, but that looks absolutely repugnant and grotesque..........I don't care if it is a Lightning, Cobra, Honda, whatever..........it is nasty, and I don't like it...........but to each his own. It's his truck, and he likes it.............more power to him!! That's all that matters anyway...........that each person like their own truck, and enjoy it any and every way they can

Yeah I figured that. Hard to believe though, it handles awesome in the rain. The lightning is my bad weather vehicle.

you guys are nuts,, the truck is fine, i'm not a carbon fan, but what the hell,,, i liked the idea of bagging the suspension, rides great when its bagged i'm sure, plus you can adjust height you ride at,,, sure that one is slammed, but you could pump it up to look to your taste,,, and thats a sound idea. mucho dinero there though.

i think that is REALLY sweet, i love how low it is. I wish I had the kinda cash to do it to mine too! I like the hood too, if only they made the cowl hood in carbon fiber.
