    I'm all for people doing what they want, as long as it's safe, but I can tell you if my daughter dated a guy driving a truck like that, we'd be having a long talk.

    Personally, I would rather have the rear end higher than the front, but that's more for practicality purposes. That rear squat still looks much better than those ricers who stretch their tires and camber them to a 45° angle as if any of that is safe. But, who am I to tell you what to do with your truck?

    The driver of this truck obviously had no idea what he was doing as it's just not practical. I mean how could he see?

    LMAO!!!

    Its the desert racing version of fake beadlocks. Functionality doesn't matter, it's all about pretending to be something it isn't.

    You must be smoking CRACK to want to do that to your truck.

    Anyways how I would do it is take out the middle leaf then do a spindle lift in the front.

    Desert racing =/= street driving/recreational off-roading

    It's better to leave it completely stock, completely boring, and concentrate on the resale value of a truck that will never be sold again. At least then the driver could see the road!

    Oh, I thought the topic was trucks front versus rear ride height, I must be in the wrong thread again. I do that a lot.

    I don't understand your point. I checked and I am in fact in the correct thread.

    Front versus rear ride height, focus people focus.

    You’re the one comparing your stance to long travel. Go ahead, walk up to a guy with long travel and say your trucks have the same stance.
