    Thats freakin funny stuff!!!

    I think it just depends on what drivetrain your running and if its your daily driver or just a toy for the weekends.

    If its your DD it might me a bit much but imo its not

    If its you weekend toy then the sky is the limt!!

    How big is too big for you?? It's your ride- You step ladder to get into the truck- Your wallet for the gas money-etc etc etc.

    There are technical reasons that going bigger is harder-but it's all about what makes you happy.

    I'd say 14" is about right. That's what I've got and the wife seems happy with that.

    It's gotta be stiff- No where near factory equipment- Must be aftermarket.

    And the amount of synthetic that you gotta use to keep it moving- insane.

    actually....the more inches of lift, the more fluid u need to keep it up...and there's only so much to go in there, so it would be flacid to a point...mechanically speaking, of course....:rolleyes:
