Would we be able to combine the 6'' with the body lift?

Of course you can use it with the body lift. As for tire size, as long as the lift is a good lift then then all the lift does is allow you to install larger tires. The lift could be unbreakable but if you throw tractor tires on there and wedge it between rocks it's going to break an axle or drive shaft. Look up on YouTube there's a vid of a 99 h1 hummer with like 150 hp vs. a newer f-350 or 3500. The one ton's driveshaft broke and the hummer was fine.

Default several lift kit packages built and ready to be installed

Hey guys, I talked to my new friend that's installing the lift for me...he said he has the first line of products ready to go with different levels of kits that will be available. They are setting up a new website right now with pictures to come. I scheduled next weekend (Friday the 25th-Sunday the 27th) to have my truck available (I'm hoping it will be more like friday so I can take it out romping over the weekend!). For now, he has a blog up that he's running so you guys can ask him questions. His name's Stephen and from what I've seen he's pretty cool...very honest and lots of integrity.

Also, he did say that he is going to do group buys where a 5-10% discount will be given for every set of 10 sold with free shipping on orders over $1000.

I have this in the other thread, but ill put it here too.


On another note, If Jack My Ride is the name, they either are completely new, or really want to keep this Hush Hush, no listings online, and not one phone book entry that I can find....seems suspicious to me.

lol blog was created today at 5:58, and his profile was created today, has been viewed one time edit two times (by me) something is really fishy here.

On top of that they say that they were a web based sales and support team for lift kits. Why then can google not fine ONE SINGLE thing on them, kinda seems like bad business if no one can find you.

Desert, are you jerkin us around?

Lol I am callin it, (and I will be able to admit if I am wrong.) Desert is either jerking us around to bother us, or this is his odd way of stimulating the industry to get us a lift/keep this thread at the top.

Ill believe it when I see it, and I sincerely hope that i am wrong and that this Steven guy exists. Until then, it seems way too good and fishy to be true.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Since I've been part of the G3 crowd we have been let down so many times. I hope this is real for you guys, but I will have to see it as well.

I say post up the pictures, show us that this product is real and marketable. I know a fair amount about running a manufacturing business (I am 1/3 owner of Tapmaster Incorporated with ties to the Masco group of corporations) and while my experience mainly relates to plumbing valves and fixtures it is inadvisable to start any company by keeping your product line a secret. Hype it up, show it off. Nobody is going to reserve money for a kit that seems to be nothing but a smoke and mirrors trick.

It seems like there is plenty of response to it i would pull trigger if they had a 6 in front and four rear lift available instead of using bs blocks like we have to.
