Many lifted trucks I see around here don't appear to have ever been off-road.

Still got the Carolina Lean/Squat trucks running around there? Thankfully the only thing we have are Bro-Dozers in various lift and tire size configs. Nothing like the trucks down south with noses pointing skyward. Great visibility as to what is ahead!

That's a 6" lift for sure. The tires look like 37's, stock they come with 33's which makes the PW look like it's on a roller skate. With no mods they're tall, but not that tall.

I don't recall ever seeing one with front-only lift, but there's a lot of beautifully waxed, scratch and dirt free lifted trucks around here.

So redneck, the squatting trucks....

Lifts can look good but I'm picky...

95% of the ones outside Chicago never go off road. The 5 percent that actually do, are the "look-at-me" clowns who don't wash it for days after to "prove" they went mudding.
Turning their mudded up trucks into these big Brotard comets with a tail of rocks and debris being thrown down the road behind them. About as awesome looking as the "rollin' coal" tools trying to impress their "juggalo" cousin/girlfriends.
I always visualize the driver being named Cody, or Skylar, or Dakota....

Ha!

We rarely get snow here but when we do most everyone panics, including those with 4wd vehicles. Several years ago it came down heavy during the day. Wife got a ride home with a co-worker who had a 4wd truck. When they got to the bottom of the hill in our subdivision, the wife called for me to come pick her up. There were no less than three 4wd trucks abandoned there . Yes, I made multiple trips picking up folks walking in the snow. At least my misspent youth in Tahoe was good for something...
