If you need steps like that to get in the truck, you don't need it.
Jump, climb, rope ladder, Anything but those big *** steps.

No the thing is it's useless, IMHO you raise a truck to have better offroad ability and to allow the suspension to travel more. But since his is just the stock suspension with the body up on square tube its basically just a 18in body lift:


See his "flex", the trucks useless when a 5in mound in your yard makes the opposite tire come up off the ground...

Yeah, but it'll get some attention at the car show and cruisen' the strip on the way to autozone. Wait, is that, is that his torsion bars connected to the bottom of those steps?
Not sure what that is. Yeah, nevermind, I'll give him $300 for it as is... heh. There is a vid I saw on youtube of a s10 pickup in I think mexico that was bone stock except for 33's or 35's and a 6-8 inch body lift. It...was...FUGLY.

Yes those are indeed the torsion bars. I think the ugly steps were just an after though and a way to justify the bars for the torsion mounts lol.

Yea he was asking 14k... and it sold.

Ooookay... And I thought hockey pucks with a coke can wrapped around them was a odd lift method.

14K huh? Well I guess he had that much in the paint, tint, rims and tires, "custom lift", and the vehicle its self. Lost money on it but, with crippling that truck like he did, I'd call it even. In WV, any body spacer bigger than 3 inch is not street legal. I love blacked out trucks but after 30 minutes of thought, I'dve offered him $150 for it $200 if he'd keep the tires and rims and take off the lift.

BTW: Giod, I really like the rims and grill on your truck. Never seen that combo before and it really makes it stand out. Good choice!

Thanks for the compliments. When I posted I was gonna put Xtreme wheels on my 4x4 people said it would look stupid and rub the fenders. They were wrong about both
