I lifted my truck!

[Novdid]

Now that's American!!!

That is something you don't see in europe everyday!!!

It's hard for me as a european guy(we're more into lowering our cars) to understand...but hey it looks damn cool!!!

No, I don't think it was ugly...
Yes, it got cooler after the "lift"
Why I like computers? thats a complicated question and the answere would be too long
I do not overclock!
I asked because I wanted to know if you did it purely for the astetichs or if you were going to do some 4x4 races or something

Sorry, I guess I was a little defensive but like I said, typical answer from most everyone. I mostly did it for show but the occasional hunting trip or camping trip will be easier

I liked it more before the operation (then again, I'm a pussy). It's still cool though, so tell us... Exactly how many inches did that add?

Hey, just kidding, I'm only jealous...

Edit: And since you're obviously handicapped (see first photo), won't it be more difficult for you to get into the car now?

Let's just say my handicap is unique

Lowering is very popular here too. I think the difference is, a) Gas is much, MUCH cheaper here, and, b) Once you go hunting, camping, get stuck in the mud, or get stuck in the snow putting chains on your tires while the 4x4's pass you, then a 4x4 suddenly seems...necessary

That truck would fit just nicely here in Canada, with our cold weather, and tons of snow, those kinds of trucks are usually the ones you see pulling cars like mine from the ditch!

I like it! Amazing what a difference the wheels make to the look of a vehicle too. Now let's go get it muddy!

[ZokesPro]

What engine is in it?

[Helevitia]

5.9l V8

[ZokesPro]

No lack of power there!

[Helevitia]

Well, compared to the competition, it is slow and underpowered. But I didn't buy the truck for speed It has 245hp compared to Chevy's 5.3l 285hp Vortec engine. Dodge came out with a new engine this year though that blows everyone away. It is a 5.7l 345hp! V8.

Yeah the new Hemi engine. Sweet engine!!

Here's what makes the Hemi such a special engine. Some of it has to do with the unique two-valve hemispherical combustion chamber within an aluminum head that provides outstanding air flow, torque and power. All this, and the engine has undergone over 11 million miles of testing to help ensure its reliability and dependability.

This new Hemi also boasts another significant upgrade from its predecessor. Instead of one spark plug, it uses two to speed fuel combustion, decrease emissions and dramatically improve power.

Personally the Ram is one of my fav pickup trucks.

In sweden its strictly forbidden to drive cars "off-road"

[Tempest]

I owned a Lada Niva once... In fact the only road-legal car I've owned. Crappy car on the road but OMG could it climb anywhere

[RedRed]

My folks had a Lada once..... It put a 'leg out of the bed'! -

the crank shaft broke under load and forced the piston part-way throught the side of the engine block!

Spectacular!
