    lents and lifes, thats all there is around here. several newer diesel trucks around here lifted on anywhere from 44's-52's all short...

    lol well I'm somewhat short myself, around 5'7". I had my tacoma lifted 9" with 37's That dont mean i'm hiding something though.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.

    i don't think 5'7" is really all that short. plus i'm talking about trucks where you have to use the tire to get in. Different strokes for different folks. Not to say i don't like them, but they just don't make much sense for anything besides bogging.

    Edit: i'm talking about the big 2500 and 3500 series trucks.

    I love big trucks! Feels like you're on top of the world.

    Should we post our height in our "bio?" LOL

    What other dudes do & why they do it is of no concern to me. I'm avg 6' so I don't care what shorter people do nor do I care what taller people are doing & why they do it is equally non-important. If no one cared they wouldn't even worry about compensating to begin with. :D

    My buddy's 6'2", and he has a F350 on 35". He's not small at all, and he actually uses the truck and takes it off road all the time. I usually wheel with him. I don't two $hits about what height the guys are, I don't swing that way, but what gets me is when I see these tiny women that are driving their husbands jacked up diesels. They can barely see over the steering wheel! haha
    I was at the gas station the other day, and this badass cummins pulles up with a 12" lift and on 40s" and this tiny little women hops out to fill up the truck. She actually looked over at me because I was laughing so loud.

    I would be willing to bet that Bozeman, Montana is the King in this category. With the recent boom in construction every Tom, Dick, and Harry has a new giant pickup that they need a ladder to get into and now that things have gone south, they can't afford.

    So what about all of the bigger guys who has a huge truck? small dicks? I'm 5'8" and my truck looks like it was used like a truck. Can't say the same for some of the Miss America Pageant trucks I see out there.

    How do you get inside that red truck? By the time you get to the top of the steps you would block the door from opening wouldn't you?
