I got a buddy with 15" running 36 swappers and yes on a 30/35 combo
Home built uppers and lowers
Drop bracket for track bar
Over the knuckle steering with a custom high steer bracket added to the p*** knuckle
No SYE stock drive shaft ??
I'm guessing front springs off a f250 big custom spacer
Who knows where the rears came from with like 6" blocks
And all the other crap shocks break lines ...
Rides like crap flexes not at all but will it go through some mud? Yep and stay dry doing it
Purpose built mud truck looks good to no mountains here in Florida deep water and mud

There are some who do it right so don't take offense to this, but more who do not.
As always I invite anyone with a sky high lift to come wheel with me. I just recommend you have a cage, harness and helmet, as ling as my "little lift" is allowed off the road.
Just don't be disapointed if you don't get muddy.

). if you do manage to do something on the mega cheap and make it road worthy they will probably congratulate you. Believe it or not, they actually compliment work too
