Some guys like them lower, some guys like them higher, some like faster, some like louder stereos. To each their own. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

2. A suspension lift IS function. I'll have increased ground clearance, better shocks, wider tires for traction, etc. The aftermarket spindles I'm installing are also much stronger than factory cast stuff, and were designed to take alot of abuse. Stock is BORING.

Houston is flat. We don't have mountains or rocks to climb here. That doesn't mean we shouldn't customize our trucks and lift them. Thats like saying you shouldn't make your cars faster if you are not using them strictly on the race tracks.

<strong>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" />

If you only see them on the highway or street, then theres nothing to be upset about.

Now if you encounter them on the trail and theyre driving like theyre afraid to get a scratch, then id be pissed off too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Is this the "bash JMX" thread or the "is Tony a Redneck Rice Wannabee" thread?

STOP WITH THE PERSONNAL ATTACKS! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
