JMX quit being a whiny ***** *** b*tch. Don't you have anything better to do than take your camera out and take pictures of all the tall cars out there that block your view? Then you come on here whining about it like it is going to do anything. Go cry to mommy you *******. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />

 

Brandon, I already bought the parts to lift the GMC. They were delivered on Saturday, and I hope to get them installed on Tuesday or Wednesday.

FFS (Full Force Suspension) 7" lift from PerformanceLifts.com (4" spindles, 3" springs, upper A-arms, 5" blocks, 4 shocks)

Nitto Terra-Grappler 33" tall x13" wide x18" wheel All-Terrain tires

Boyd Coddington Timeless Six 18x9.5" polished wheels.

Can't wait to get it installed. I'll post some before/after photos. It will be a completely different truck for sure <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I would have just left it stock. Put your energy into the Bird...The only lifts I like are really for function. I'm sick of all the damn jacked up 4x4's that are too scared to actually get mud on their trucks....kinda like those mid life crisis guys that buy fast cars but are too scared to drive them they way they were intended...

Our friend just bought an 01 Chevy, full sized and raised it 10 inches, that truck is bad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

CashDudeHomie, Nineball came on here and posed "Leave it, or Lift it?", and I replied with my answer. He asked for opinions, and I gave mine. You guys sure get defensive, maybe you all should go chew on some dip and relax (oops, did I stereotype again?)? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Modsquad..."YOUR IN TEXAS, GET OVER IT!"? My *what* is in texas? Did you mean YOU'RE? Yes, I am in Texas, but that doesn't change the fact that huge vehicles EVERYWHERE is not a good thing, it just means it's common down here. I was born and raised here, and I'm not planning on leaving. When somebody specifically asks me if they should jack their truck up, I'm going to specifically reply no, and state my reasons.

Fast4.8, there is a 4x4 looking 3rd gen fbody here in town with a big Jesus banner across the windsheild. The guy wears a big ol' cowboy hat too.

I have nothing against trucks in general. I have something against everybody buying the biggest vehicle they can get their hands on, then, making it even bigger. Certain people have a need for things like that and that is ok, but a lot of people I see driving them just seem to drive them by choice. If camaros, vettes, or mustangs somehow inherently made driving more dangerous for people around them then I'd be talking out about those too, but those cars aren't inherently dangerous to others. *HUGE* vehicles ARE, because they block the view of other drivers on the road, they take much longer to stop in emergency braking situations, and the weight/size delta between small and large vehicles makes it so that collisions will more likely be fatal. Lifting a truck "just because" only makes those problems worse, and thus, when asked "Leave it, or Lift it", I say "Leave it".

Sterotyping is so great isnt it, im far from redneck in "real life" but yet when some one watches me pull up they think im some redneck that is going to be chewing some "dip" but yet im not. But dont worry, when people see a C5 drive up they usually think it's either some rich punk, or it's some one in a mid-life crisis. sterotyping is ridiculas but it still happens..i live with it. Were not all redneck..but shure can act like them if you want.

PS, you dont think i have a use for my truck? We have some dips on main street that would eat your C5 alive.

JMX- you keep driving your " sorry about your little ***** car" and making your shitty remarks. That will be the death of you when one of those " big ol'redneck trucks" runs over your stupid *** and leaves the words super swamper on your head.
