That be one massive body lift. Thank god for him & other road users he supported the spacers with giant beams connecting them. That is tall, that guy walking by looks to be around 6ft and its much bigger than him. 44" tires? Didnt look anyone else know?

Thats a beast, but that much lift is completely pointless...as BBB said thats just one big body lift, off-roading that thing would be a joke...not to mention its got a 2.7L in it.

In over-all power, but I would bet that they aren't that great off the line...all I know is when I drove my buddies Dodge with the Cummins diesel in it and had less get up and go than my dads less powerful Chevy...but who knows.

It's probably the stock shock just pushed up from all the body lift.
