no kidding....they just need to stop.....right now....

I have been looking for blocks like those too level out my truck.

Damn that thing is a death trap. <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0">

with a lift like that he is an "ASSasin"! <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0">

WHY ?

Rhino

thats mine! where'd you get those pics?


sorry couldnt hold a straight face, thats hella <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0">

Thats the tallest spacer lift I've ever seen. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

Wow. That's scary.

Is it an optical illusion, or does the negatively arched spring rest against the frame? (2nd pic)

<IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> Nice lift blocks. <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

Speaking as a Structural Engineer - the lift blocks are adequately braced for buckeling loads.....

Speaking as a 4wheeler - that guy is an idiot!! What a bafoon. Wonder what he was <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0"> when he got that idea??

I think thats the radiator core support.

That is one sketchy arse ride.

Those leaves are still scarey!!!!

It could just be me, but where are the shocks?????

The rear shocks are on that sweet x member <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> Not sure about the fronts. I would love to see the steering setup on that. I bet its sweet <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Now I know why the local steel yard is sold out of 2x4" tubing...this used it ALL <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

You think these pictures are scary? I saw it up close at the Bloomsburg PA jambo where they were taken. I wouldnt feel safe towing that thing! <IMG SRC="smilies/puke.gif" border="0">

Poor trucks, they didn't want to be made into such pieces of shit. Like this poor toyota:

It didn't ask to be made into that ...thing. That whole website is a joke.

They're not even U-bolts, just long studs with flat plates on top and bottom. The question is what did he use? I'm guessiing he got some rod and ran a die over each end. At least he didn't use all thread.

Still, he does appear to have everything braced. I'd feel a lot safer riding in it than that crazy XJ. <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

People, people!!! Calm down, the swaybar's hooked up. Everything will be OK, see <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I've never seen 20" lift blocks...Sa-weeeeet <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Funny thing is that the people looking at it are thinking "This thing kicks ass"...guess it doesn't matter how you do it, as long as you get those huge meats under it <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Whew...I feel much safer now.... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Wow! A true Solid Axle rig! <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

why...............

I see these things driving around So Cal all the time. Usually piloted by what looks like a 16 year old kid <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

How can anyone in their right mind take a 30-40 thousand dollar truck, add another 10 -15 grand in lift, tires, and of course a boom boom stereo and turn it into a worthless piece of sheet <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/flipoff.gif" border="0">

I'm not an engineer but it seems to me adequate bracing for buckling loads would require more bracing towards the CENTER of those LIFT TOWERS <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> err...I mean LIFT BLOCKS <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0">

Then again with as tall as those are, maybe that IS the center <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

You think there was anywhere close to 10-15 grand in lift there...NO WAY, $200.00 att the most. Most of that looks like it could have been "EXTRA" steel laying around a scrap yard. There doesn't look like one OUNCE of engineering thought put into that. C'mon they didn't even get longer than stock shocks.

I'm not raggin' on your thought I'm just sayin' NO WAY!

i'am pretty sure that the folding chairs are all that is holding that piece up. mike

wow wish i could afford the truck before the crack head got to it. also what is funny is that the web page took pictures under it of the custom truck work. some people have no clue. like hoy much doyou think it would cost for inch lift springs. fuck nthat much. probably the same as it costs for the homemade 24 inch lond u-bolts.
pat

You guys don't know a REAL truck if it came up and bit you in the ass... I saw that thing turn a 13sec. Qtr. @ Riverside a couple weekends ago, than I saw it run Wreck'n ball and Sledge. And to top it all off, it was eat'n sand rails @ Comp hill in Glamis (all while towing a 35' 5th wheel)
so I have to ask, CAN YOUR TRUCK DO THAT?.. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Oh BULLSHIT man!!! Where the hell did you get that crock of information? You're COMPLETELY misinformed...

It was Oldsmobile Hill... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

On a side note... I had NO idea Ray Charles
<IMG SRC="smilies/cool.gif" border="0"> was building trucks now a days.

People, people...listen up. Speaking from a Mechanical Engineers perspective, I would gladly put down my John Hancock on that CAD design of a suspension system <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> That's what I thought, all jealous you did not think of it first! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

yup, in fact going up Comp hill @ pismo i beat him up there, i had a Stock Bronco 2 with a 2.8l carb'd motor, pulling a 4 horse gooseneck (had to chop the top on the bronco) with 4 horse's, and i smoked him! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Don't they use that thing to tow the space shuttle launching pad into place also? <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">
