2005+ 12" LIFT KIT

There is a body lift on it. Just look closely at the front end.

 

Yep thats the stock skid up there. The steps and picture angle hide the rest.

 

If you zoom in you can see the pucks on the front cab mount and looks like gap guards on the back.

 

Lol! 14" wide rims! These trucks all look like giant RC trucks.

All good if you want a All Show-No Go type of vehicle. Looks pretty ridiculous tho.

 

Wouldn't do it to my truck but its cool to see it on another truck. I like how its nice and level. I'll take a high quality 3" lift personally

 

Not for me. But hey, if you like it, why not?

 

For $3200, you are almost halfway to SAS.

 

Yup....more obvious in this one.

 

LOL true, not that practical for serious offroading but a lot of lifted trucks in my neck of the woods will never see the trails, sand, rocks, etc...

 

well...i showed it to my girlfriend and she commented that it must be a size compensation from a small...


on my part, sure it looks nice, but it will only be a looker to me...unless you have another daily driver. because it it worth it to loose handling/power/higher gaz mileage/not fitting in most underground carpark and the fact that even offroading it won't make you go over that middle of the trail rock because your diff is still at the same height....not worth it to me...i might do it on a old truck but not to a new one.

 

In my opinion I would use that 3,200 dollars and put it torwards a solid axle swap so I would have something that is more offroad capable, but if it's just a grocery getter or something to show off that you aren't going to use I say go for it, to each their own

 

the truck looks silly.

 

personally... id never buy the kit... i dont even like the look of it. id rather see that height on a SAS if any, not a db.

 

I didnt read through all the other pages but here is my opinion.

Whenever modifying any vehicle, modify to the vehicles strengths. Don't put mud boggers on a slammed 5 lug, for example. A pre-runner of 4x4 is built for ground clearance with a mindset going towards center of gravity. Any time you raise the center of gravity, you increase a safety concern. Some of that is a trade off for ground clearance. But this is the vehicular equivalent of a fat chick in a short dress, bedroom slippers and a bathrobe.

Although the dress may be tasteful with proper adjoining attire, the body lift begins to shout what was already hinted at. It YELLS I AM LIFTED, WATCH ME ROLL! Drop brackets have been generally equated to mall wheelers for years. They look good, without having front end angle issues. Back end drive line issues be damned. They provide for a +2 inch increase in ground clearance if coupled with 35's. (Remember, you can lift the body of the truck as much as you want, but the only lift that changes where your pumpkin is at is tire size). I look at this truck, and I wonder, where are his FRIENDS at? Why didnt they smack him and teach him function before he spent his years pay on this.

If all you want is dumb chicks to think your truck is sweet because they need a ladder to climb into it, then you WIN.

I like smart chicks.

 

Save your money and just do this:

 

I'd buy it... if I had the money!

 

There goes the unibody

 

X2 Well said Ben

 

a lot of people hate on it, NOT SURE WHY, THEY DONT HAVE TO BUY IT..., anyways, i do have some questions regarding this kit... will my king 2.5 extended travels and my OME rear spring leafs and shocks work? if so i want it really bad haha

 

This is what happens when you lift like that:
