    My suspension is stock.

    Your example is a personal anecdote, based on habits ... luckily you have not encountered an unplanned situation that would change your mind.

    It is much wiser to view the facts and consequences of the real world.

    Let us stick to the facts as they are, instead of introducing non-sequitur ad hominem fallacies.

    You are free to do what you wish to the vehicle that you purchased, but you are sitting on a high horse that has no legs.

    Run your truck down some good wash beds, flex that spacer suspension and see what happens. Trust me, you'll find out real quick. Good luck.

    What exact tire do you have on your truck? I'm pretty sure it's the basic stock tire they put on the SRs, correct? Don't you know there are WAY better tires out there that are way more capable than those little donuts you're riding on now? You are an 'unplanned situation' as you put it, from getting stuck, having a blowout, getting a flat, hydroplaning and all sorts of other unplanned situations....

    Those are the same 2 or 3 pics that EVERY person posts on all the threads anytime someone mentions they have a spacer lift. It's comical !

    Spacers aren’t bad for 98% of the way people use their trucks. Don’t expect to be able to Pre run the Baja 1000 with it, but the preconceived notion around here about spacers is pure heresay.
