    Yeah, I was doing some real wheeling when I flopped my junk. Not going through puddles.

    Oh btw, it's "you're."

    Nothing wrong with a rolled truck..i rolled mine. Not i tore it all apart and i know more about my truck then more then half the ppl on this entire site ever will.

    And its defiantly not worthless..I bet his truck was like mine and could still drive fine after the roll.

    I'm happy with the fact that I've been to a lot of places in my truck and have seen many sights while gaining knowledge of our countries culture and wheeled some badass stuff.

    And it's not worth pennies just because of a few dents.
    It's worth as much as all the parts on it plus more.

    Do you really want to start a pissing match?

    This.
    Someone's wheaties were pissed in this morning.

    lol, misaligned, mismatched wrong body pile of shit. Dude, speaking of which, i figured out why my truck always looked like it was leaning passenger. The gap between the tailgate and bed side on the drivers side is about 1/3", on the passenger side there is no gap...at all. Damit
    i didn't, i don't ever get his jokes:(

    It was a name brand lift kit and the installation was fine.

    There is no way you can say that you can prop your body off your frame using rigid 3" spacers and say it won't cause any vibrations.

    There has been overwhelming evidence that body lifts can cause damage to your truck, and potentially can be dangerous.

    You're an idiot if you put a body lift on your truck....PERIOD.

    Ok! Ok! We understand that you are "TW's Official anti body-lift pundit!" you've given your 2 cents, and said the same thing over and over again! Thanks, but I think it's time for you to move on. Appreciate what YOU've done with your truck, and we'll all do the same! Thanks for your input, but no thank you on any further.

    Body lifts just look so stupid. Why try to look like a chevy with their 15 foot framing hanging below the body?

    Look back thru this forum, read it carfully, and you'll see that I was one of the people who said that body lifts aren't the safest way to go, but that they're a personal choice. I "personally" decided to chance it, and am happy with my decision since my truck looks more badass than yours. I like to live life on the edge... sorry for all those who are scared of something that "might" happen due to an accident. Man up and realize that we understand your point of view on the whole body lift topic and leave this thread if you dont like it. Posting over and over again the same thing just makes you look like an idiot. Thanks for your first input on this, but your last 37 posts on your opinion were useless and repetive. I think we'd all like to hear something different come from you for once. Good job at standing up to your name, tho!

    hey look, this truck has a body lift...why don't you tell J.W. that his tuck is an unsafe pile of garbage?

    Look, we all know that this place is anti body lift and that if you have one you are going to have 1000 different problems guaranteed within the next 100 miles if you don't die first blah blah blah. Look you have made your point the last 4 pages and the guy has heard you and even agrees with you. You have fulfilled your mission so just drop it and be a douche to the next new guy that joins here with something that you don't like. I don't think you are going to get the body lift off by repeating the same anti body lift banter over and over so i think we have all heard what you have to say.

    Agreed... A lot of guys that wheel their junk HARD run small BL sometimes... I have even thought about running a 1" BL. They can be very useful for fitting larger tires and aid in getting a flat belly. I think the anti-bodylift vibe is a tad too stong and a opinionated on TW... :crapstorm:

    HOWEVER! I think that we can all agree that a 6" DB lift coupled with a 3" BL is NOT the safest or best way to go if hardcore wheeling/rockcrawling is in the plans. :eek:

    1" Bl is better than 3" by far. If done right you can replace the old worn out body mounts with better ones, and change out bolts to grade 8. I wouldn't run anymore than a 1" BL ever. 6" Lift is ghetto enough (Unless of course SA) This thread went to shit for no reason IMO
