    I think anything over 3 inches isn't practical ... doesn't even matter the price tag.. if its a show truck and only a show truck cool.. I like it.. but to drive it on the road.. how can you even see other cars?.. forget getting in a parking garage.. or small side streets.. imo for everyday use its not practical.. but is it cool.. yes

    I think it looks badassed!

    I worry about lifting things because I hear it causes premature wear on other parts. Honestly I think it looks great.

    That is quite possibly the ugliest truck I have seen. If you like it, power to you.

    I'll stick with my LT. There's something to be said for low COG and down travel.

    Why waste money on this lift?

    Here's a better/cheaper idea...

    I think it looks great. Don't know why if you lift a truck people assume you have a small dick. Its the owners choice. Who cares!!!

    That truck is actually at 15" of lift right now with the 12" db lift and 3" body lift but agrees would look 100% better w/o the body lift

    The pic attached is one with just the 12" lift

    Shouldn't even be an option.

    Increasing the center of gravity while lowering the over all clearance = one big expensive FAIL.
