No you can't. I don't mean to be rude, but the frame of the truck under the doors and rear differential were less than half an inch from scraping going up and down the rugged hill. It's hard to see in the video, but you can't do it in your truck unless you have a suspension lift or somehow fit 40"+ tires on your truck.

Hey man, welcome back! Could you film some more off roading, as well as on-road usage? I would like to see some basic corners, starting, stopping, highway, etc.

You don't see anything extreme because that lift does not increase flex, only lowers the components to allow for more ground clearance (larger tires). JackMyRide commented on their youtube video saying this "all you gain is clearance. That's all we claim this lift will give you. More clearance allows for larger tires, which also increases clearance. Physics and limitations of the components cause the kit to not increase suspension/wheel travel. We did not design this kit to increase travel. In order to gain travel, the kit shown will require long travel leaf springs in the rear, longer rear shocks, long travel coilovers in the front, high angle CVs, and ideally longer upper and lower co"

That will be the $3800 option next year right?
