I'm gonna cry! Poor truck!

It's his truck and his $$ so he can do what he wants, but I think this is ALMOST as bad as child abuse!*



* Of course child abuse is much worse....

You can always put a new frame under it after that one breaks.

Re: I'm gonna cry! Poor truck!

I have complete respect for the low-riders running hydraulics, as long as the frame is boxed and the fab work is quality. I wouldnt do it to my truck, but I'd much rather see that than someone running around with a shopping cart wing.

Watching that cab-bed gap flex did hurt me a little... but as we always say, its his truck. At least he loves it and is proud of the thing - I'd rather that then letting it rot in a field.

Something looks bent, either the bed supports of the frame.... I would never do it to my junk BUT it would be fun to work the controls on HIS truck and see how much you make make flop like a fish out of water.....
