    I will never understand why people put giant lifts on trucks, but don’t install bigger tires. In the 4x4 world, you actually want a lower center of gravity so you don’t flip, meaning that normally you only lift your truck enough to fit the size of tire that you want. These pavement princesses look like wrestlers with ballerina legs.

      The majority of them are not doing it to improve performance. Same with the low profile tires with huge rims. You want smaller rims and more sidewall for off roading. These mods when implemented like this are “look at me”, “I’m bigger”, and “I’m more important” statements. I’d bet most of these owners would freak out if they scratched their paint on a tree or got dirt in the bed.
