Ya sometimes it doesn't take much.
I rather see stacked hockey pucks than stacked axle blocks I've seen stacked axle blocks way more times!

honestly, truth is, your better off leaving your truck stock than to throw some hockey pucks underneath it anyways, a quality body lift is a risk itself, and to top that off with making your own body lift, with no quality parts, is putting your rig at risk and everyone around it. And not to mention your going to lose so much offroad performance anyway, your better off leaving your rig a little lower, and trimming parts to get your larger tires in, or to trim the lowest points on your rig and get shaved differentials. By putting a cheap, or fake body lift on your truck its going to make it a rougher, more uncontrollable ride. If you want to do it, make sure you stay away from me out on the trails, because you'll drop that body off the mounts faster than a basketball on a needle. Just work a few days overtime, and get a few extra dollars, and buy yourself a cheap body lift, it mounts more flush and looks better anyway, and it wont wear down in such a short amount of time.

I wasn't planning on actually doing it i was simply asking a question, I'm only putting a 3 inch suspension lift ( yes a proper kit) in my ram and possiably cutting my fenders.I wasn't trying to cause any ****, just a simple question, you should have seen the hack job that was on the parts truck that I was originally talking about, it had freakin pressure treated 2x4's under the box. I'm not always a *****, all apologies

If i can get picks to show everyone the hack job, its a real hoot but it was driven every day and even as a 2 wheel drive was used to plow, it has 8 spot lights between the roll bar and bush bar, i'll get pics

I wasnt saying anything aggressive against the point, I just wanted to help out, because it really is the honest truth, it is better off to leave a truck stock when wheeling, than to give it a body lift. The only upside to a body lift is the bigger tires, but performance off the road is completely lost with a body lift.

I wasn't impling anything, I think this just got blown way out of proportion, and for the reckord I don't like body lifts either, I hate the gap it leaves
