because in reality you aren't accomplishing anything by lifting it that high, when you lift a truck, you usually don't go any higher than a few inches, all you are doing is trying to gain some clearance, after that you are just asking to roll. Not even to mention how bad it is on all your suspension, constantly changing wheel bearings and ball joints, and completely losing the nice smooth ride of the vehicle. Don't even get me started on body lifts, they are absolutely pointless and look terrible, and are dangerous. dont get me wrong i have had lifted trucks, but have learned to do it the right way, with a small spindle in the front to give it a nice stance and some clearance and that's it. Lifting a truck more than a few inches is ugly and pointless.

More lift = larger tires which equals more clearance. You can lift a truck 20', if you run small tires you are getting no where. The key is to fit the largest tire on the least amount of lift while not to hinder the suspension articulation.

A body lift doesn't effect the ride quality since the suspension stays untouched so it is a decent option for a budget lift. Also the pointless part of them is wrong also, they allow for a larger tire therefore an increase in ground clearance.

Could you also elaborate as to why a lift is bad for the suspension please?

I am going out on a limb to say your last truck was 2wd? Right? I say this because you mentioned a lift spindle. So you lifted a 2wd and added larger tires and yet lifted trucks are ugly and dumb and pointless? Your post is like a dog chasing it's tail.

To sum this up, we all have our preferences and opinions. Please keep the bashing to yourself.

yes they are, first of all why is that silverado on such big wheels? when lifting a truck you never go bigger than a 17" wheel, the whole point is to have lots of tire and little rim. Also whats with the simulated bead logs? those trucks look like they have never touched dirt, and you and i both know those bead locks are fake on all three These trucks where built to sit at car shows, you dropped thousands in to lifting something that will never touch dirt, so you are completely destroying your gas mileage for nothing...

the whole point is to do what you want to it... dont think most people lift their trucks based on what people tell them to spend money on. they spend money on what they like weather it be big lift or slamed. theres no rule that you cant go above 17s when lifting.. dont know where you come up with all this. i personally dont like more than a 17 or the whole 20s with 33s deal but im not the one spending money on it so i dont really care. how many things do you hearabout lifted trucks flipping? used to hear more bout explorers fliping than lifted trucks. also most who lift also get wider offset to help to be more stable.

i could argue why black out your tahoe... but i really dont question why you chose to not my vehicle
