whats the purpose of anything that rolls accross this site, CS? its different. whats the purpose of having a 500hp civic? its different. whats the purpose of a stretched out street bike? its different.

No, a 500hp car would be fast, a stretched bike would launch well and potentially be fast. So your purpose is to be different and you like the way it looks. Thats all I was asking.

Your truck is like a riced out civic. All show, no go. This is HMT, so you're gonna catch ---- for that. Function over form. There is no way a 5.3 pulls it "no problem". I'm sure it moves on its own power, but those heavy *** wheels/tires bog that engine down a LOT. That's a huge as mass moment of inertia, times 4, you have to accelerate. And the drivetrain was not designed to deal with it. Chevy's are infamous for their shitty front suspension. I hope that kit replaced the factory ball joint configuration which keeps them in tension all the time. I couldn't tell you how many chevy's I've seen rip the front end out from a failed ball joint. Over 1K in damage every time.
Your ---- is prettier than mine, I'll give you that hands down. But mine wasn't built to look good, it was built to romp and pull sissy trucks out of holes they never should have been in. As long as you know it sucks for off roading and it's only for looks, fine. But I still don't get it.
