Lifted Truck Problems
Forget performance, fuel economy and capability for a moment. For some truck enthusiasts, "stance" rules all, especially when it comes to dialing in a customized rig's look and attitude. Be it lifted or lowered, the position in which a rig sits...in relation to distance from the ground, of course...can make or break its legitimacy in the minds of folks who firmly believe that looks are everything.
During our print-magazines' heyday, titles such as
Truckin',
8-Lug, and
Diesel Power covered both ends of the stance spectrum, through feature articles, as well as tech reports detailing exactly how lifting or lowering a rig is done. Lifting is our focus this time. While it's widely acknowledged and agreed by many truck fans that skyscraping pickups are badass, the truth is, lifting has its drawbacks.
