    If that's what you'd like to spend money on, props to you. Looks badass, just not my style. This would never be logical with the way I use my truck.

    Nope... I prefer to spend my money elsewhere. I think it looks like shit imo. I'm not hating just see no practical use for that truck other than looks.

    Classic case of someone clearly compensating for something;)

    While it's cool (or not) to look at this huge lifted taco...I wish there was a side by side comparison with some actual footage of this thing wheelin' with say a solid 3" lift. We could also throw in a DB 6" lift to mix it up. I wanna seee some footage of this beast doin some donuts or something :confused:

    its cool and all but why would you need it that tall? almost a waste of money unless theres a real purpose for it...

    shit do it the right way and SAS that beast...you can stuff 35s on that with a 3" lift and have the same ground clearance...some people just like their truck to look taller because it "looks more badass" I think it looks stupid :deadhorse:

    That's a given. Don't even think about taking the 5150 sticker off of it either.
