Back around 1992 or so, I had a Cavalier that me and a buddy turned into a low-rider.

We clamped the springs in the rear and cut the coils in the front. At that point it had ZERO suspension!

Ground clearance under the door was 2 inches.... just enough for my neon lights to shine through! That sucker cornered like it was on a rail, but it didn't fair so well if there was a crack in the pavement or once the snow started flying,lol.

The sound system was killer though. Like a rolling night club inside, and no room for fat chicks,lol

I used to get pulled over at least once every other week for some of the stupidest things. Nobody ever told me your bumper had to be a certain height.:dontknow:

Eventually my fines and tickets were using up all my minimum wage cash at the time and I couldn't afford any more junk for my clunker!

I didn't need to draw any more attention to myself with fuzzy dice at that point,lol

20190103_091913.thumb.jpg.d88294e8c493f37dd5d2aa1217b885e5.jpgI saw this at car wash today. WTF? A car top carrier over bed??? Anyone else see anything out there not making any sense? imageproxy.php?img=&key=0f83455fcf3d9771

Not having running boards on a truck jacked up like that makes little sense.  I better be wearing sweat pants if I drove that truck or risk splitting my pants (not that that has ever happened to me at a wedding reception before).

You're not throwing thousands of dollars of ski equipment in the bed of a truck, I wouldn't anyway. And that's not lifted, I'm looking at getting a new F250, that looks no different than what I've been looking at.

 

 

Ya, the fx4 ride height is that high from the factory . Guy down the street has one ,it's really sharp looking.

Does it have electric running boards.  I pulled em off my truck for about 3 days before putting them back on.  Looked great but very inconvenient.
