    I kind of feel like this is beyond flatbiller status. No Bro lean

    GOD DAMN RIGHT you dont take dem stickers off
    LMAO, the subconscious can be a bitch. But yeah I completely agree with your first post. With the money in the lift you could save a bit more and SAS.

    I'm actually surprised those Cen Cal trucks leave pavement...wouldn't want to mess up that chrome shine. Do you think they air down to 12psi in sand? :laugh:

    The GM's are definitely WTF. It's like cool parts but miss matched to create something WTF. Cool tires but lifted solely for the purpose of showing off a chrome lowrider undercarriage? That is some crazy stuff. They honestly must get finger pointing and laugh's while driving those things down a street. Might as well drive the Oscar Meyer wiener car!

    the 198 WTF'ers and 296 Nonpracticals agree with this statement.
    I love how they have a built leaf pack + block + trailing arms to ensure the axle doesn wrap because of the extreme distance between leaf and axle housing.....

    I can tell you from where I live (Cen Cal) that the dudes with the WTF lift are looking at my 3" lift with 33s and thinking WTF was that guy thinking not going with low pros and 20" chrome :rolleyes: and DB lift all shined up with chrome...if you're a real badass you paint your DB lift neon green

    What is DB? That whole Cencal look is new to me. I'm trying to understand it. I know things stay clean forever out there so I suppose chrome under a vehicle works. There just doesn't seem to be much purpose for the truck other than if you like the look. Maybe on a sandy beach? But why the need for so much lift? In my mind it looks like the automotive equivalent to the guy who walks around with their pants down to their knees with their boxers exposed for the world to see. Chrome boxers or neon green but boxers none the less. I don't understand that fashion statement either. I've watched a couple video's of the cencal guys too. They seem to like to just do 360 burnouts on the side of roads with these things and think that's really cool.

    I don't know but at this point the whole concept is lost on me.

    lol!!! my buddy owns this truck from vegas. before he went crazy on the lift, he started with a 3inch lift, then 6.. after that, he got in touch with bulletproof and got a semi sponsorship and designed the 12" lift. the truck looks real good in person… not to much function but gets a lot of attention like how a show truck should.
