Ya and stock trucks have a very low center of gravity.....I'm saying it's better to leave the truck they way the lift comes cause that thew way the made and tested.......Given the right conditions you can flip........So lift the back end of a lifted truck higher than the front........In his case he was going down about 10 degree hill someone jacked there breaks on infront of him to make a turn and he did the and flip it.

BullRing: please do us a favor and remove your head from your anus. The truck will skid before it flips over, unless you use God as your brakes.
I can't stop laughing, just imagine... it isn't everyday you see a truck do a front flip.

Not only were the brakes applied so hard that the truck flipped over its nose, but the tires didn't lose traction in all of this. I know that no matter how hard I step on them, my brakes will never even come close to locking up my 35s.

If you lift the back end up your not allowing for that resistance. The lower end gives you that. I'm all for lifting but if the lift kit company wanted the kit to be altered they would of made it the way he's looking to do. I just wanted to bring it to someone attention. The nieghbor down the road flip his truck due to adding a higher rear blocks in order to make his back higher on his lift kit.
