Re: hillbilly deluxe
Hillbilly hell!!! And we wonder why they are cracking down on modified suspension. Can you imagine being on the road with your family with that thing out there?

Re: hillbilly deluxe
I've seen it done many times by people that are off base or too cheap to do things right. If you don't have the means to do it right you should just leave it alone. I'm old enough to remember hockey pucks and frame stacking.

Re: hillbilly deluxe
My '75 had front lift blocks when I bought it. I didn't drive it like that though.
Double stack rears are awesome!

Re: hillbilly deluxe
I feel old now i knew what you were talking about with the hockey pucks and stacked frames LOL!!
The blocks are crazy a drive line is no place to be on the cheap. Now if its a trailered mud truck that is only run in the mud boggs and you really like fixing broke parts then id say go for it. Ed |

Re: hillbilly deluxe
I saw that posted before and no one commented.Or,was it another?Someone was selling parts/lift kit from a frame done like that.There were other "red flags",too.So guys will do anything to get it up.
