You're right.



You know what they DON'T have though? Spacers, Blocks, Add a Leaf, and other hobo fab.

We dont buy our stuff to look like race trucks, because if I was gonna look like a race truck, I'm gonna build it myself dumbass! You think that if I was gonna build a race truck that I'm gonna use off-the-shelf parts? Hell no!

Now, I dont mean to bash KORE, they are a great company and build awesome stuff. And I also do think that block and spacer lifts are dangerous and stupid. There are other cheap ways to lift our trucks.
Hey now. You ever actually travel much? My house cost 247k, 3 bedroom, 3 car garage, 2000 sq feet. I moved down here from WA, where mudding was a lot more popular (probably because there's no mud here), but I got a way nicer house than I would have gotten up there. There is a huge difference between a race truck, and a mudding truck. A race truck barely has a lift. Maybe 2 inches. The point is the suspension. Wider axles, rolling out fenders to fit 35s, but keeping low enough that you can actually turn. Mud is all about height, and tire size. A true mud truck probably can't go sixty, definately can't turn going faster than 15 mph. I've built a few trucks for mudding, and definately seen many more built for it.

You can't compare 2 different purposes for a truck. It's like comparing Nascar to rally racing.
