Shitbox lover! LOL! I know man to me any bagged dually looks good! Even some of the Fords. I think its hilarious when people are like "Bagged trucks can't tow anything! What a waste!" I think not!! Them things are designed to tow! How many semi trucks do you see towing and have air suspension?? Just about all of them!!!! One of these day I'll get me a square body Chevy!

im not trying to be a hater but why would you put sooo much money into your tow rig? when you could put that money towards your toy... puttin bags on it and semi wheels would just make the maitnence cost that much more expensive... those tires aren't cheap, but i mean if you had the money for it then by all means but if you can bearly do it, iunno just seems like a waste of money n time... but for his, his own...

Well if you didn't have it slammed you could run a true 22.5 low pro and those tires would out last the truck.

I would trade my truck for a one ton just so I could slam it and run some shaved 24.5's.

I think it will look damn good. I like trucks lifted and slammed, both look sick in my opinion.

That's what I was going to go with at first but I started thinking a Durmax would be so much better than a 454.

Ponyhater,

They had a good line up, I also like the two door Tahoes, I wish they would have kept making them.

I agree, far as tow rigs go, I would prefer a diesel over a big block. The newer style trucks look great also. But on the topic of 454s, I think a 454 SS truck would be really fun project.

I think Kermit blew up inside your Infiniti!!

I like the looks of those trucks but isn't it hard on things when you tow or haul weight with such a short sidewall?

Where can I get some bags for this. I just want to take some springs out so it rides better when not towing. But still have good suspension when I have the trailer hooked up.

never been a fan of lowered trucks. its enuf to worry about scrapin the vette, but why throw sparks in a truck? When i see that it makes me laugh.
as already stated...to each there own, but how useful is a scraping truck? is it just for looks?
i guess ill admit the black dually on the first post looks neat...but still pointless and expensive.

sick, just sick... i heard those trucks dont ride that great, i guess they dont according to your comment... is it just when your not towing they dont cause of the stiff suspension and no weight? that trailer is NIIIICE!!!
