Don't mean to be a dick but we know. It's made by a guy that sometimes post on here "desertrat", do a search for JMR there are a few threads about the lift. He lives in phoenix AZ. He should be bring out some skidplates here soon if he hasn't already. I would so buy one but I don't have $3000 plus however much it would be for shipping to Alaska makes we wish I was still down in phoenix.

Hey that's what the threads are for on here is to share. I haven't been on here in a while and couldn't find anything so I thought I would put it up anyway lol. Has anyone besides desertrat got one on? And I agree, Alaska state troopers is a BA show

I'm not sure if anyone has "bitten the bullet?" so to speak. Personally I'm not wanting that much lift anyway.

Neither do I, I don't want a mini monster truck. Just a good size lift to have some fun with and with I really want 33" tires. I sent him an email askin if there is anything in the works for a 3" suspension lift and if so I might just bite that bullet

6 inches seems like a lot, but it's really not once you see the finished product.. DesertRat's truck on the website also has a 3 inch body lift installed. So consider his truck as a 9 inch lift and picture it 3" lower.

good catch, i saw that about the body lift too. IIRC, they were running 35's with that 9" total. they seem to be selling a nice looking setup,just not as tall as the vid shows.
