Double Stacked IFS lift?

This guy on eBay is selling a lift that consist of a superlift and procomp stacked together. Not interested in purchasing at all, but just wondering if this madness is safe? It looks incrediably UNSAFE and INSANE. What you guys think?

it "might" be OK if there were support rods running from the lower control arm bolt to the frame, but that lift is just plain hokey i wouldn't want to see it after a hard brake application, the whole suspension would probably fold under the truck

Wow - that made me laugh for quite awhile.

gotta love the Chinsy sway bar drop brackets....one hard turn and that thing would disintegrate. Some people should not be allowed to change anything on their vehicle....nothing...not even the air filter.

That's way more leverage than anything there was designed for. There is a reason no one makes an IFS lift over 5". What a heap.

Deathtrap. What is unfortunate is that our country has no shortage of idiots and someone will probably buy that thing and use it.

I must go on a quest to take this evil lift to kit to the firey depths of mordor. Who wants to join the fellowship of the bracket lift?

That truck is awesome.. I bet that lift kit is expensive

What is going on with the upper control arms??? It looks like they chopped it up and bolted extensions that would pivot in the middle of the arm.

I feel sorry for the fool who buys that truck, and for anyone on the road near it.

There is no reason for any IFS lift let alone two.

Oh heck, why not just add more lift, that makes the truck better, I mean badder.
