    Well a buddy of mine drives a white 2007 4x4 DC (stock) and mine is an 08 lifted with billies and Eibachs. I have really enjoyed the lift and absolutely love the ride. Well my buddy hops in my truck while me,him, his women, and mine started to go snake hunting (will explain if needed for all of you city slickers out there). So we began driving down the ol gravel road full of pot holes, etc. and without nothing being brought up he replies, "man this thing rides smooth as can be with your lift on there, i figured you would hear and feel everything." I was like yeap pretty sweet huh! lol. He then went on to tell me about riding in another one of his friends lifted F150 and how he didn't like the ride in it at all. Just thought i would share the story.

    Man i love my truck! :D

    Sounds more like hiding the snake. Especially since he says city slickers.

    haha.. Snake huntin (if you haven't never done it) is where you just get in your truck and drive down a long gravel/dirt road at night and look for snakes.. When you see one, you get out, toy with it, then kill it.. (or keep it and sale it to a snake handling church!) haha. When its real hot outside, then turns cold at night, snakes will stay along a gravel road at night to help keep warm. Sounds dumb just typing it but its actually a pretty good time.!

    Now why would you do that? :( All they want to do is live....

    They are usually very shy and only hunt for food.

    Very docile, too. This is a baby Kingsnake. :)

    I used to kill or catch like 6-8 rattlers every summer at my house when I was growing up. I shot one in the house once, Definitely not a fun thing to do, I can't stand those things.

    I agree.

    Hunting is one thing, toying with an animal before killing it is something else.
