I have to agree with you, the other thing that bugs me is people who raise
them too much, a little lift is one thing, but some people put such a big
lift on them that they need a ladder to get into their truck, I'm sorry
that's too far, personally I like the look of a stock truck, but that's
just my opinion, and everyone has a right to their own, and I respect
everyone else's opinion as long as they will respect mine.....
