How do you guys feel about lifted trucks?

[Snoopyalien24]

ugh I hate those people that taunt u and think they own the road because they drive skyscrapers. Here in South Fl, we obviously have many cubans, who dont drive much in cuba, and come here and all own duelys f350s, silverados, hummers, rams, etc, and thing they can do what thay want one the road. Usually when they are behind me, i drive realllyyy reeaaallllyyy slow, just to piss them off. hehe.

But if you have a purpose for it, then go ahead make them 15ft tall if u want. Just yesterday, outside of the DMV, a giant hummer backed up right into a Sentra.. idiot

Okay, so maybe that last bit wasn't exactly a sentence. I'm just reliving one of those ****wads backing into my B13 and totaling it.

That STI will be SOL once you add in some real conditions!

My truck is only lifted 2.75" with the Donahoe/Icon front coilovers and add-a-leaf and Donahoe/Icon rear shocks. I've been on trails and took it offroading.

What I dislike in regards to lifted trucks is when they put the Procomp and Fabtech lifts. It lifts the truck high but leaves the axles near the stock height so you're not really gaining any ground clearance.

Again youre making assumptions. I drive a stock 93 accord. It is stock height. Just to even up the discussion........

Not only that but if a kid were walking behind that truck or anybody at any height really....they would not be seen by the driver. Safety hazard plain and simple. I dont care if its psuedo tires or a psuedo off road truck or if its not being used what its "meant for". Thats not my problem. The problem is safety. The same way a cars headlights cant be too low I really think that too high is a safety issue as well. This car right here should be illegal.

My truck is a midsized and is only lifted 2.75". I get blinded by lifted F150's, Rams, Silverados, Sierra's headlights too. All rearview mirrors have either an auto or a manual switch, use it!

There are laws on how much you can lift your vehicle. If people want to take that risk, let them deal with it.

The same thing can happen with a bus, a semi truck, a Uhaul truck, an RV etc! So anything that is bigger than your '93 Accord is a potential safety hazard right!!

My rearview mirror doesnt have a switch. And 2.75 inches I agree is not bad. I am not hating on your vehicle specifically.

And I think youre missing the point of this discussion. I simply stated that this is what I dislike about lifted trucks. I dont see how or why youre creating an argument as if my points arent valid.

And no I am not talking about size here. I am talking about ride height and how it blinds people and also the lack of visibility they have when backing up.... again youre using red harring.

i am not attacking you nor am i using the size of vehicles as my concern. can you please read what I write first. This is what I dislike about lifted trucks... its as simple as that. I am sure I can find a lot of people that agree with me. You dont have an argument.

ME: I dislike lifted trucks because they blind me and are a safety issue with visibility.

You: Dont lower your car (not lowered)
Use your rearview mirror switch (car doesnt have one)
There are laws regarding ride height (doesnt change the fact that I dislike them for blinding me)
Bus RV Semi Truck ... ( its not in comparison to my accord its in comparison to a pedestrian)

Your mirror should have it, unless you have an aftermarket mirror.



We went off in a tangent but my point is people customize their cars and do what every they feel. We could sit and go on all day but it just sounds so petty to hate on a lifted truck b/c it blinds you. I could understand if a truck was driving behind you on a single lane road and you had nowhere to go. Honestly how often are you behind a lifted truck for it to be that much of a issue, maybe at a stoplight for a minute.

Oh yeah... lifted diesel trucks run around everywhere here. It gets me. Yes some of them serve a purpose. But the rest of them are annoying prick wannabe "Holister" hoosiers. Yes I live in Missouri, but in the city I live of over 70k people with 2 other towns and unincorporated county all around, so well up toward almost 200k, this isn't a redneck area. It's all suburban and businesses. Yet you have these idiots in these lifted diesel rigs with stacks and the "dual whips" on the back. Can't forget the truck nuts. And yes, the people around here aren't actual rednecks, they're wannabes. Just because they have a truck and live in Missouri, they think they're rednecks. I owned a lifted Jeep Wrangler for a while, but I wasn't a doucher or acting like I wanted to be trashy. People and their trucks, something I don't get.. unless they have a lifted Toyota or Nissan.. then i approve because those people aren't total assdouches.

Function>form

If form hinders functionality it's utterly useless.

[snapspinner]

I actually like lifted trucks and pretty much anything modded. There are douche's in every hobby. It's not the trucks fault it's the person acting like a tool. I try to take people as they act and not judge before hand.

[IntotheOcean]

Yeah, sorry you have to deal with hicks. Our main problem over in NY are wanna be jersey Shore females speeding and talking on their phones.

[IntotheOcean]

Also whenever I do see a lifted truck I always feel sorry for the guy and think 'Aww he has a small peepee'
Because the power you lack in the bedroom you need to make up for on the road! Haha just my thought process
And we are talking about obnoxious lifted trucks here.
