Wow, thats a little crazy but to each his own. I hope your rig never sees rocks because that would only end badly. Haha. Mudding in it would be fun though.

I had a 85 K5 blazer with 38.5 tires 15 inchs wide on 15 inch wheels and 8 inches of lift and got nasty looks by cops and that was pretty big in my eyes. To lift 3ft. is jus plain nuts and waaaaay too much money.
