Wow. That's the main reason why I don't want to slam my truck. Off topic....how are your wheel adapters holding up? I noticed you have 5 lug wheels in your signature.

Yeah the block is leaking oil when the pressure goes up. Adapters are holding up nicely, burnouts, drag racing, 100+mph moments

Hence why I tell people that ask me about lowering my brick. Looks cool when done right, but takes away from the true function of a truck. Sucks it had to do that much damage though. If I slam mine, it'd be on bags, then lifted when I drive.

I would say probably, but paying the increased premium for future risk at that height. Seems better to come outta pocket for that... unless fighting the city (or DOTD) for damage b/c of an uneven street surface. Good luck with that one. The city would say had the truck been had OEM ride height, it wouldn't have happened. Could argue that cars would have the same difficulty, but they'd respond that no cars were damaged due to the street surface condition.

Again, sucks to see that much damage. Hope ya get all that fixed up. BTW, get more rubber around those wheels before ya end up paying money for bent rims on uneven surfaces.
