ok I was checking this out, and heres a thought... what if this guy did that because he wanted to be up that high, but wanted to leave his running gear and a frame on the ground so that (I wish there was a shot from behind) his hitch which may still be mounted to the lower frame was at normal hieght so he did not have to have to fabricate a say 12-14 inch drop hitch with weight distribution for his 12500 pound 35' bumper pull toy hualer?? not saying thats why, but the only reason i could think of. still screwy though LOL. ANd I bet your right maybe his state has a body lift maximum, but if you think about it its legal because both frames are welded to gather as one and the body has no lift so there for its just a taller frame not a body lift???

I've seen that done, in person. It was on a old square body ranger. Used to be owned by a member on the site.

How do you like this?

I would rather fab a monster drop hitch with huge supports than make my truck look like a pile of dog sh!t. that guy is a retard, and there is absolutely NO justification for making a truck look that stupid... : crazy:

I think you all read me wrong, I was definitely not trying to "justify" that concept what so ever, I would never do that to my truck and the extra wieght and all your right it is retarded, I was just trying to explain what I thought this idiots thinking pattern could have possibly been other than to make a bunch of dopes like us sit around and talk about it for eons LOL, oh and that suzuki man I would love to see that thing off road LOL first bump CRUUNCH
