it looks great... too bad it will never be wheeled... personally, with that much lift.... it should have some 96" tires on it.... those tires are huge, but look too small under than lift..... STUPID STREET QUEEN!
 






I wonder what kind of job that guy has? That stuff isnt cheap..... He's gotta have atleast $50K invested. I bet its probably some guy who works at McDonalds (no offense) and put every penny into his truck.... I bet his truck is worth more than his house! I bet he lives in a mobile home and is dirt poor, but his only claim to fame is that truck.
 






You're probably right, didn't get a chance
to talk to the guy but I think this truck may
have just been one of his toys.
The insurance can't be cheap, he has it licensed
with tractor trailer plates.

Pretty clean, don't know if he plays, but what's the
point otherwise.. EGOMANIAC

i bet he is not married

i am thinking its compensation

I think it looks ridiculous. It is way too high, there is a point of diminishing returns in lifting. I can understand a substantial lift of like 6" or maybe slightly more, but that is just absurd. But hey, it's not my truck and I guess if he's happy with it, that's all that counts.
 






I'd like to see him parallel park that puppy. I
bet he would avoid some traffic jams with his
bird's eye view..

I have seen a Burb raised to about that height. I talked to the owner, and he is part of an offshore fishing team. Im sure you need a pretty beefy truck to do that kind of work. But i seriously doubt it needs to be THAT high.
 






at least he never has to worry about getting dings and scratches from other peoples doors in parking lots
 






He can use the roofs of other people cars to get out of his truck. Has it been determined that this is a man's truck. It would be really crazy if it was a chicks. I see girls driving some monster rigs so it isnt totally impossible to be a girls......

Just a thought

I bet it is easy to for him/her to change the oil, at least the drian plug and filter.
 






As I think about it, that truck screams testostarone. Probably is a guys.
 






I think it looks stupid!:rolleyes:

Seriously, why would you do that? I highly doubt he takes it off-road, it looks too nice and clean.

...but hey, to each his own, it is a nice truck, although a little too high for me.
 






That lift is so sweet..... Its a chevy though... so the truck sucks. I would live to have a new F350 SD turbo diesel with that lift under it... my dream truck!!!

If you had a SD lifted like that would you take it off road?

I know that I would, why else do it? Some people don't see it that way.
