You silly kids enjoy your spacer lifts and add a leaf. I build real suspension.
I love this guy. Whenever someone gets on my nerves at school I just keep my cool and think about how he could act like this kid^^.

Were just not cool enough to build real suspension haha...

You never did post a pic of your truck...

Guess not. There are so many e-fabbers and people on this site that do halfass hacknfab work, that its hard not to laugh.

I HAVE posted pictures of my truck. Go take a look in my thread about the tire carrier I fabbed, there are like.. 5 pictures there.

What's to see anyways? It's a 2nd Gen Ram. Big deal.

I thought you built real suspensions? That's what a real suspension lift looks like?

Vehicles, whether cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats or whatever, are personal expressions for many of their owners. While we may not agree with the how and why of the customizing these owners do, we should not be denigrating them for it. This place is where we exchange not only technical information, but ideas, likes, dislikes and bits of ourselves. We should never forget that while we have our own opinions to share, we also should have respect for the choices of others. Play nice or find another sandbox. And that is directed at everyone, not just 011500Ram.

Lol, suspension lift. Travel is what you want. Lifts are for rednecks and bros. This is what my Ranger had:

Shame it was stolen as a non-op.

Viper37 had that same ranger haha... Probably found those pictures on some ford ranger forum... Just so Miami doesn't have to keep coming back and posting, I will say your right. Your copy and pasted ford ranger from another web site is a real lift and your dodge without a real lift is a real lift... You win...

BTW Miami did you paint those running boards or buy them that color?

What the heck are you talking about? That Ranger is the truck I drove in High School. My graduation present was getting the money to build that truck. If I still had it, do you really think I would be hanging around on a Dodge Ram forum? Those have a HUGEEEE aftermarket right?
We built that truck right before I graduated. We put a ton of work into it also. I was getting the fiberglass painted when it was stolen from a shop here in Vegas. People have seen bits and pieces of it around, but apparently it was parted through Craigslist and ebay. It was a uninsured non-op because it wasn't registered at the time. The only insurance money we got was the value of the truck, plus the receipts I had for the coil overs, and that was from HOI.

I'm not sure why you all think I'm this Viper37 character, but I can assure you that you are all sorely mistaken.

I honestly don't mean to cause any trouble here. But when all the same posters come into threads, trolling about 2WD's and other BS like that, its quite easy to get really into e-peen contests.

I'm not saying you still have it... I'm saying you never had it... Similar qualities i would say... BTW don't take whats being typed to seriously as I'm laughing.
