This is my buddies HD..Its got a custom wishbone rear suspension, huge drop down lift up front and King coilovers. It clears 46-inch Michelin military tires and 20-inch rims. Oh yeah, he tows a painted to match 30-foot scarab with twin, blown 502's!

That's Badass! What's the truck have for power, I'm assuming something huge to turn those tires and pull a 30 footer.

Did he change to a solid front axle? Problem with that 2500 with the 8.1ltr is the front end is too heavy when lifted for independant front suspension. I had to weld a bead around the tops of my ball joints cuz they kept popping out just going down the street. I am seriously thinking of re-doing a whole custom suspension, as I have been getting more skeered while towing my boat.

he wont have problems with the ball joints because he scratch built the control arms and its got uniballs installed. Its pretty damn trick for a disco truck.

That truck reminds me of my good buddy Chris Cline / Custom Creations. RIP Chris.

Thats tuff! Why did he opt for 46`s. They have em in 52`s as well. HEMMIT! The bottom is even with that Beamer`s trunk lid. Its nice to see money put to good use. :D

That right there is the reason I moved down here. Big, bad, lifted trucks. Nothing looks better than a lifted truck. Very nice, I guess wherever that truck runs its street legal to have 46s. Back in CO, 45's were the highest you could go with a 10" lift max. I am soo gonna build me one of those when I get teh moneys!

I saw this truck rollin down the street on monday by CSUF. That thing is SICK. I wondered what the tires were when he went by. They were huge. I also saw the Scarab sticker in the back window and was wondering what he could tow with something that big. The drop hitch looked to be a 2ft drop. I guess it's only money.

I live in the midwest so after winter we have pot holes everywhere...I have built two slammed duallies and you guys all have beauriful roads and build 4x4's I dont get it. I guess around here the 4x4 represents the good old country boy. I know fist hand the $$$$$$ it takes so I am in no way insinuating anything just trying to understand the allure of lifted trucks and perfect roads.

Very, very nice looking but I prefer the Blue Oval rides myself.
Money Pit GM products, although the nice parts of it aren't OEM. :D

Thats a sure bet that no matter how drunk you get, aint no fat girls goin home whicha! If you're drunk and you do try to help a fat one just remember "DO PUSH FROM THE BOTTOM" Because if your hands slip you could end up with a pumpkin head!! So to speak!
