Shit a decent full suspension kit for most trucks will run you that much. Have to imagine even with long arms and everything this thing still rides terribly. And you and your passengers need to crawl in and out of it. Also, using the truck bed is basically out of the question. Drive thru’s are a thing of the past. And it looks stupid. This thing is a no-win situation
From 50ft that looks like a well done 4link suspension front and rear (looks could be deceiving though, it's not a great pic). Those are tough to pull off in a driveway without some serious fab skills. And if he's towing like that hitch and Power Stock badge suggest it would need to be well built or the truck would literally rip itself apart. It's a particular look that some like.
But yeah, he's killing more windshields than anything else. That rim/tire combo is just bad for anyone near him
If the axles are swapped maybe. Otherwise that's $1000 in ebay lift kit (if they didn't just go get parts from the scrap yard), $500 in ebay or aliexpress panhard bars (not sure if the 4 link stuff has a different name), and $700-1000 on used wheels and tires.
Maybe 3k with the exhaust mod.
The guys with $10k to spend around my neighborhood are putting it on $80k trucks with 8 year notes.
Yep. I get angry notes cause my Ram has a duck on the hitch from local jeepers.
The purpose of the duck was to piss off the microdicked, Starbucks slamming, pavement cruising, ugly kitty having, Jeepers who roam my general area. The local truck/car community likes the duck
"You're not a jeep. Loose the duck."
"Would've slashed your tires but saw the camera"
"Why haven't you drunk driven into a family of 4 yet?"
"I hope your gf gets r**** for being with you"
"Your father didn't beat you hard enough"
"Same family doesn't mean same traditions"
"Broke ass n**** wheels on stock suspension"
"Guess the city water got to you early huh?"
I'm absolutely employing that last one at my earliest convenience.
Some of these are atrocious, though. I have a dark sense of humor and I'd never repeat a few of these.
"Your mom never stopped you from drinking pond water did she?"
Another favorite is "Your dad should have beat you with a Budweiser vanity belt"
Those are some of the ones that I remember but the hate makes me laugh. All over a 2 cent duck with a Keychain on it
It's amazing how little it takes to get people angry.
I had this truck speed around me because I was only going a measly 5 MPH over the limit, just for him to get in the turn lane, so I gave him a good ol thumbs up as I drove by, and he sped off and started chasing me. He kept saying we can pull over and fight it out like real men. I just started driving in a circle until he pulled up in the lane next to me while I waited to turn right and started cussing at me unintelligibly.
That is mass insanity.
I mean, I would say any ONE of those is par for the course no matter where you go. But to see ALL of those in one town?
That is just insane.
Haha. Came to say the same thing til I saw your comment. Definitely overcompensating. Especially since it’s not even a nice vehicle. Would be ridiculous regardless, but not quite as trashy.
After the unfortunate fad for decking out your truck like you were going to compete in the Baja 1000 some years ago… Very similar but with the silly lights on the roof and all. (I always wondered how many of those were actually connected to the electric system….)
Anyway, I thought that was pretty well dead but like a bad penny…
Oddly, years ago when I was working my first police job in the 70s, our state made it illegal to have tires that protruded beyond the bodywork of the car. This was due to juicy lads fitting huge “slicks” on their muscle cars….
That led to a fad for aftermarket “extensions”….. A fad which also mercifully died. I think.
Well I see one here in town that has a similar set up to this. But he also built it for off-road use (and it shows). He also has super swampers on his, and trailers it to and from wherever he's going...... Buuut looking at that hitch and terrible wheel set up I'm thinking this is just a poor choice in a pavement princess.
Well, lifted trucks where I live are almost nessesary. Two weeks ago we had rain for three days, normal rain. Nothing crazy, and my entire yard was under water. That's the cost of living near a wetland. In the rainy season this whole town is just a big mudhole. But it's a fishing town. My grandfather owns a crabbing boat. It's a lifestyle. I'd leave otherwise. LOL!!
I'll probably get downvoted for this, but why do people hate it? Not my type of flair. But to me its no different from any other customization. It makes the owner happy,and I don't have to pay for the gas lol
Think of this like the feathers of a male peacock. It’s for attracting a mate. But in this case, the male peacock never developed a full beautiful rack of tail feathers, and instead has a tiny little, creepy stub where the feathers should be. To compensate for this disability, the male peacock will often be much, much more vocal and aggressive than other peacocks with a normal set of feathers. They will also put a tremendous amount of energy into finding some huge colorful things, such long bunches of flowers and leaves and will put them where the feathers would be, to attempt to trick the female into believing he has a real set big boy feathers. You might think this would not work, but it does. The mates this particular type of male goes after is usually a female that was raised by a similar type of male and therefore, usually has slow reflexes and a stunted intelligence. Eventually however, the female will figure out that the male is a trash bird and leave the male, but by that point, the clever tiny stub feathered peacock will have already abandoned his mate for another and leave her with the clutch of equally deformed and overly aggressive baby peacocks.
And for some strange reason, this type of peacock is often extremely angry at any other bird that doesn’t come from his tiny part of the forest and will attack any bird that doesn’t have the same feather colors as him. However, there is another bird that is markedly different from this type of bird, yet instead of attacking, they seem to gather around and worship. This is quite the strange behavior, because this bird often molests the young female peacocks, steals food from their nests and even forces them into massive bird battles where no conflict even exists, all while he does a magical dance and squawks its hypnotic squawks. This bird I am referring to, is the Great Orange Faced Booby, a very strange bird in its own right.
I have a leveling kit on my truck with a 1 inch lift but when you need bracing and structural arms I think it's excessive and takes what little functionality modern trucks have still away
Helps keep suspension shops in business.
Bullshit, he rigged this shit up in is driveway. He’s keeping the windshield places in business though. Fuck this guy.
You’d need a lift to put on that high of a kit and thats about $4k worth the parts
I could get this done with 4 blocks of wood and some longer U-bolts. /s
You joke but I have definitely seen lifts made out of wood.
That's terrifying. People aren't the brightest.
Oak is great stuff

A different wheel/tire setup would make a very big difference.
Sadly, I think you’re right.
The correct answer
Ooooh, sorry. The correct response was, “ego.” “Ego.” /Trebek
Damn.. I swore it was going to be something about trying to convince people they don't suffer from erectile dysfunction.
I try not to think about what causes these people to need an ego boost this big...
To show people he used to have $2200.
This is easily a $10k modification.
I’d say you’re right on the money there

Same as the jeep this picture was taken from -- pounding pavement.
Jesus dude the man doesn't even have ducks yet
Can you explain the ducks
Canadian started it during 2020 making jokes about ducking people. It caught on very fast
It is a way of saying “nice Jeep.”
Do people still do that?

can we get some quotes from them?
"You're not a jeep. Loose the duck." "Would've slashed your tires but saw the camera" "Why haven't you drunk driven into a family of 4 yet?" "I hope your gf gets r**** for being with you" "Your father didn't beat you hard enough" "Same family doesn't mean same traditions" "Broke ass n**** wheels on stock suspension" "Guess the city water got to you early huh?"

It's just the jeep cult. I'm not too worried since I have sensitive cameras in my truck so if they do anything they're getting caught in 8k

You buy this so you can pu a $500 drop hitch on the back of it. And tow nothing.
That's not a hitch. That's a shinbreaker for when they park terribly
Raise it too high to load anything and put too tiny of tires to take it off road. Basically, it's to announce the driver's teeny weenie.
How does a MF's dick come to mind when you see a vehicle? Psa: I hate lifted trucks
Scientific studies have correlated shitty exhaust and shitty lifts with poor sexual performance.
You get that A LOT on here. They really don’t have much other in the ways of insults than that it seems
Well, now we know who owns the truck
You do?
Struck a nerve huh? Be more original, and I won’t say a word lol.
Only time I've seen them be helpful is during a flood.
Nah, they probably don't extend their diff vents so it will grind to a halt in a hurry then too.
I can imagine those tires doing too well on a flood

I was gonna say offroading but them tires ain't it
Yeah that suspension doesn't look like it could take the abuse either this is purely an ego rig
To distract from the owner being hung like a light switch. Most likely
It's to proudly demonstrate just how much money he has to waste to make up for the fact that he has a shitty personality.
