[QUOTE=Lenn02Screw;4314528]Way to big for me... IMHO, anything bigger than 6" with 37's is impractical and more for show. QUOTE]

Needs less lift or more tire. Too big for anything but a "Sunday drive" truck/show truck or mud pit truck.


It'd be cool to have, but definitely not a daily driver or work truck in my book. I'd have to have something else to drive the...

It looks good, but it's probably just a show truck. I wouldn't want it, but it's cool to look at. Nothing wrong with that.

practical means different things for different people but the 9" will hold up
depends on how he built it but the front looks like a dana 44 and that not so much but every thing depends on the hp and angles of the drive line i would like to call that my truck

Looks like a hack job using long travel shocks (ala trophy truck) for an application which can't safely stress them to the level they're made for.

The guy also went cheap with a small truck and not upgrading to rockwell axles

the coilover shock he is running is right for the job and with the right spring rate stress is not so much a factor dont get me wrong i love rockwell axles but they need full hydraulic steering on most applications for the 3 link set up he is fine with whats on the truck
