    I don’t hate, but I sure did laugh at a dude that had more in high end suspension parts on his Ram than he paid for it and it was obvious that thing was never going to drive over a curb, much less any rocks off-road.

    First, why do you care enough to laugh, second, what makes it obvious it’s never going to off road?

    I just think there’s a touch of hypocrisy to driving a built truck and echoing a post advising that mods are a waste of money that should instead be saved. Mods that you don’t like mean the guy who does them stays in parking lots and can’t get laid? C’mon man…what’s that shit about? A dude wants to make his truck feel cooler and more his own, nobody needs to shit on that on a forum largely about how much we enjoy doing just that…

    Yeah man, I guess you do the things that make you feel good about you…

    my advice to OP would be to pick the thing you want to do for your truck and save for it every pay period…when you do your mod, do it with the best components you can, and do it with quality and longevity as part of your goals. It’s hard to build a truck on a budget but it can be done, and is still fun and rewarding.

    Doesn’t well hung generally equate to needing more clearance?

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Bash and scrape the finish up. Spray paint "CHEATER" real big in a few places with red paint. Add some infowars and RFK Jr stickers.
