    Depends on what you want to do with it. It's nothing I'd drive every day and use for work. It's about worthless for that. Me wife wouldn't be caught dead in it. Still, it's cool. I don't really know what you would use if for. You can't put anything in the back. Gas mileage must suck. Power must be robbed. It must feel like driving down the road with a couple sheets of plywood against the wind. It probably doesn't corner well either.

    This isn't a daily driver in my opinion.

    I think it looks great! I would do mine like this if it wasnt for the wonderful lift laws here in Va.

    If I had this much clearance I wouldn't need sliders or a skid plate ...

    imho looks like shit. it will be a cool truck to show your bro's at the mall, though dont try crawlin the curbs with those shiny rims.
    to each their own though. i bought my truck to use as a truck and wheel so a 12" DB/body lift wouldnt work for me.

    now a 3" on 33" tires might not look as "baller" but at least its useable.

    i didn't read through 9 pages to see if someone did, indeed, do this:
    but, i'm very curious to hear the reasoning behind the people who voted "functional"

    whether or not you like the looks of it is pretty much an opinion; i won't argue that with anyone
    but, functionality... let's hear it

    Edit:
    maybe i should specifiy: i don't doubt that the thing can propel itself down the road, i'm sure it's functional in that sense

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    What a shame. That kind of money would go a long way in building up a long travel suspension or an SAS.

    No function just " hey look at me! My MPG sux! I can do 0-60 in 10days! And I paid a lot of money for it!!!"

    Besides just like the jacked Chevys and fords and dodges, no regard to others on the road! You hit someone in a passenger car with your bumper at that height. Your more than likely going to kill them. But at least your safe riding up so high.... Yea that was sarcasm!!!!
