    When all you want is height but only have $87 left for suspension work after spending thousands on shit wheels.


    When will people learn that going the cheapest route possible on suspension is also the most dangerous?

    Ahahaha! Spot on and painfully true. I wonder if that thing would make it over a speed bump, let alone a driveway or perhaps some debris in the road

    "Well sir, we have the new King 3.0s with billet UCAs and some Deavers? Great M/T option"

    "Nah, My money is going toward 24s with some low pro tires. Anything cheaper?"

    "Ok, we have an affordable 5100 package with diff drop included, budget minded and works great"

    "Nah, I want to spend less but look like I spent a lot. Didn't you see my wheels?"

    "Hey Phil, this guy wants the Sunday special. $87 for a 15" lift front and rear...tip included"

    "Perfect, make sure he does a good job"

    "Of course sir, he's been soldering for years"

    That is neither a 2017 nor an F350. Regardless, I’d put the sketchiness quotient at a hard 9 of 10, “10” representing duct tape and bailing wire.

    Flux capacitor!
    If that shop sells lift kits, I’m sure it consists of duct tape, zip ties & washers. That’s some scary work! :eek2:

    What I don't get is the person who got the lift did no research or had no insight whatsoever on how badly this lift was done...o_O

    It wasn't your War Machine since yours is a BA TX Mall Crawler with a proper lift.

    I have no idea what kind of lift I have. It came with the truck. Certainly not a proper one though.

    Mine came from TX, very likely yours is Rough Country. Have you looked? RC is proper for streets, not so much off-roading which I know you don’t do.

    I thought it was common knowledge, if you're gonna use fender washers for a body lift, you gotta JB weld them together to stop them popping out.
