    That was entertaining. I say no. I learn from my mista. I had a Colorado with 4" suspension, 3" body and 2" torsion (9" theoretically). And wasn't that great off road compaired to my icon 2.5/TC 3" setup I have on my Taco now

    I do think it looks pretty cool but is high priced. If you don't like it why complain?
    :confused: just makes you look like a crybaby

    I wonder how it still retains 4wd? I remember when I was 16 and thought this was cool. This just screams tool you might as well go SAS. The kit is 3200 that doesnt count rear drive shaft, springs, shocks, gears, front drive line up grades, tires to fit that big monster. The front C/O's are still stock in the front. think after all the cost add up you will be sitting over 5-6 grand maybe more you could get a good start SAS in that price range if you went with leaf springs up front.

    gear shift knob and other things.
    I see it as a show truck it looks great for that, anything over 6" you realy can't use the truck for truck stuff 4wd or 2wd. I would need a ladder to put anything in the bed let alone getting it out and your in trouble if it weighs over what you can handle. It looks good sitting still but I would not want it, hell I feel guilty over my 6" lift but, it is a sharp 6" lift and I can still use the bed for truck stuff and put things in and get it out without any assistance. But the truck looks good sitting still. I would not want to be in it going over the pass during high winds.

    Everything is balanced well from the visual aspect, but could you imagine driving this thing on a daily basis? It just seems like a waste of money. Do a functional 3"-6" max and then drop the remaining coin into something else that you might need/want.

    Looks more like a truck for SEMA than anything else

    what is the intended purpose of this t\lift? end use?

    I'm about functionality, so if it suits your needs go for it. If not and for looks, well its all you. This would not pfit any of my needs though

    I HATE when people pull out the stupid "you hate it because you can't afford it argument." Regardless of what the item is. I'll appreciate the time and money someone puts into their rig, certainly not my thing though. I like 3" of lift for a midsize truck and up to a 6" for a fullsize. Anything larger is stupid IMO. But to each is own. Build what makes you happy.

    No this is just a 12" drop bracket kit. I will say in the pic of the Truck looks like they installed a body lift though.
