Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about door dings or getting rear ended.

looks like ****.
A kid by steve's house had one about that high a couple of years ago. He had controls for the air suspension mounted under the truck, so he could get in/out and leave it up when parked...he never took it off road, until the day he sold it. Just before the buyer showed up he decided to go off road. **** broke. truck rolled down a hill. funny ****.

Possible could have regeared to accomidate for the tire change, but you are probably correct.

I know someone with a similar looking truck. He has to swap 44" tires on it to make it technically legal for on-road driving. Then he puts tires on that are roughly twice as big for off-road use.

My buddy Jesse built that truck. He runs Texas Trophy Trucks. His personal truck had a 24" Lift with 44's on it that B&C did 4 years ago. I think it was their 2nd or 3rd Coil-over lift.

It's all for show everyone knows something that big is useless offroad.

Its not completely useless, more people would be able to see him as he is stuck in the mud unless he cuts the wheel and flips it over!
